I agree that `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew` looks weird, but `~/.linuxbrew` seems somewhat okay.
Other locations like `/usr/local` or `/opt/linuxbrew` or somesuch might not be writable by the current user, and it seems they would like to avoid requiring root access.
- h1d 8y agoHow would /home/linuxbrew/ be writeable by a non root? Using /home/ like /opt/ is just weird. It seems the installer picks ~/.linuxbrew/ if the user doesn't have sudo privilege but no idea how it got to the conclusion of using /home/linuxbrew/ otherwise.
- hibbelig 8y agoI agree with you about `/home/linuxbrew`. `/opt/linuxbrew` would be better.
