Let's me try to give you the solutions to your problems using Mac.
1. Homebrew: I use Nix package manager (with home manager, though you don't need to) and get rid of homebrew completely.
2. Docker: I assume you referred to Desktop version. You can just just Colima and the Docker/Compose CLI. You will get rid of all the bloats coming with Desktop. Bonus: see #1 for installing Colima and Docker CLI.
- throwaway240403 1y agoThe parent's complaint about non-native docker is not solved by colima. It's not bloat from the desktop app it's the fact that you have to run a VM to run any sort of container runtime on a mac.
- LTL_FTC 1y agoThis is no longer the case with macOS 26. Edit: each container still gets its own vm but the container runtime is now native. https://github.com/apple/container https://github.com/apple/container
- saagarjha 1y ago"The container runtime is now native" is a meaningless phrase. The containers are VMs and they will always be VMs.
