I've never had brew mess up my system and I've been using it and MacOS for over a decade... How can it mess up your system? I think one time brew itself got wedged on updates and I didn't care to bother to figure out what it was, followed the instructions on how to properly blow it away, and reinstalled with barely a hitch.
- TheNightman 2y agoBrew winds up hogging an inappropriate amount of disk space on every system I’ve ever installed it on. I switched to nix recently and haven’t had that problem yet. That being said I haven’t investigated and it could be user error. But brew can absolutely bork your shit
- wpm 2y agoHaving it cache a bunch of crap to your disc isn't exactly "borking your shit". Just delete it. There's probably some settings flag you can export in your shell .rc to control that behavior, but its so not a problem it hasn't been worth my time to go look up how to do it.
