I had a few times on Windows with niche discontinued products. Not really a huge issue but it didn’t work out of the box.
Here’s your issue with Linux: You’re expecting it to work identically as Windows does. They’re different systems with different issues and solutions. I use Syncthing to sync my Keepass database updated between devices. It’s very simple and easy to use.
Go into Linux unburdened with the expectation that everything should work the same and you’ll have a better time. You have to acclimate to the new environment, but you did the same with Windows. You got used to how bad Windows is to use. Linux is generally easier, in my opinion, once you’re used to it. It isn’t Windows though so you have to learn new things.
No. It’s from one of my own devices to another (or multiple). It doesn’t need to use Google drive. You may be able to make it do that. I’m not sure. There’s no need for it though.
For Syncthing? All you do is point it to the folder where it is (or where you want it to be if it’s not on the device yet). Then you tell it that you want to send and receive changes for that folder, and repeat this for all devices you want synched. It’s very simple. Just play with it and you should be able to get it working.
One thing to note is it needs to be running to synch obviously, so if it hasn’t been running don’t expect your database to be updated.

Did you get it working to sync via google drive?
No. It’s from one of my own devices to another (or multiple). It doesn’t need to use Google drive. You may be able to make it do that. I’m not sure. There’s no need for it though.
How did you get that to work? There is no master location for the vault?
