You can install Homebrew other places, too, for that matter.
I'd only tried NixOS (bounced off, couldn't get X-Window working even following tutorials to the letter) not Nix on macOS. "Must be installed in a specific, root directory" is a hard no for me, when it comes to add-on package managers. That's one hell of an odor.
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoHomebrew sometimes pretends you can install it somewhere else. Like most things with homebrew, if you try, you will quickly realise this is not regularly tested. > That's one hell of an odor. That’s very much fine. They do that to be able to share the cache between system. There is nothing magical about the root folder by the way. It’s just Apple being annoying.
