I started off liking snaps, then ran into all its failure modes. Like constantly getting a warning from IntelliJ IDEA about a new version being available, but only if I quit out and manually upgraded the snap (now I use Jetbrains Toolbox). Or the snap version of Docker taking _minutes_ to shut down on every reboot and resetting the owner/group on the docker socket every time it restarts.
My desktop now runs Aurora, which is itself a respin of Fedora Kinoite. Anything that's genuinely "system" level is installed with rpm-ostree, there's the occasional flatpak, but most things are installed with linuxbrew. But most days I'm just using my MBP (my desktop isn't even powered on right now).
- HumanOstrich 2y agoHey fellow linuxbrew user in the wild! Have you had any luck getting others to try it?
- nieve 2y agoI liked linuxbrew up until it set up python in a way that broke a lot of apps for me. I keep meaning to give it another try, but there are only so many hours.

- akvadrako 2y agoI'll bet most devs who use the Fedora image based distros use linuxbrew. It comes by default with the Bluefin family developer editons. https://projectbluefin.io/ https://projectbluefin.io/
