Don't Use Homebrew
- colesantiago 4y agoSorry, but I don't see how the list of alternatives are any better to homebrew especially Nix, so I'm going to keep using homebrew. I've used homebrew for over 10 years and not noticed my mac being 'in danger'. This is hyperbolic at best.
- giuliomagnifico 4y agoAnd I don't think you will be in danger for Homebrew, anyway this is a comprensible warning (the privileges issue). Author also says MacPort "satisfies most of my needs" (https://www.macports.org https://www.macports.org) you can try it if you want, it has almost the same packages as Homebrew.
- rurban 4y agoclassical case of worse is better. I'd never use homebrew, but all my colleagues do, and I observe their daily struggles.
- giuliomagnifico 4y agoI’m trying to avoid it too (I have few packages installed, 2/3 I mean) but one like gnuPG is indispensable for me, and I haven’t searched for alternatives (I’m lazy, maybe I have to do). Just use homebrew with knowledge.
