I installed a "sister" of this OS on a UTM VM on Mac silicon. They have an LTS release of Bluefin that supports ARM. That OS seems to rely (or heavily use) Brew on Linux and Homebrew on Linux doesn't support ARM. I was a bit disappointed... none of the docs really mention this.

    So they’re just slapping any old package manager in there? That’s not how you get a cohesive system
