Are you using Homebrew on Linux? Genuinely curious - I never met a Linux user doing that.

  At least one other person also does: > as long as I have a basic Linux environment, Homebrew, and Steam https://xeiaso.net/blog/2025/yotld/ https://xeiaso.net/blog/2025/yotld/ (An year of the Linux Desktop) I guess some post-macOS users might bring it with them when moving. If it works :shrug:

  Brew actually works very nicely for Linux and is a useful method to enable package management of cli tools/libraries at the user level. It's also widely accepted as one of the tools of choice for package persistence on immutable distros (distrobox/toolbox is also another approach): https://docs.projectbluefin.io/bluefin-dx/ https://docs.projectbluefin.io/bluefin-dx/ Also, for example I use it for package management for KASM workspaces: https://gist.github.com/jgbrwn/28645fcf4ac5a4176f715a6f9b1702ab https://gist.github.com/jgbrwn/28645fcf4ac5a4176f715a6f9b170...

  Linuxbrew is absolutely fantastic. No need to mess with apt repositories and can keep custom binaries separate from the os. Almost everything is there, and it just works.
