Actually, Homebrew 7 is supported on your Mac, you just have to install Linux to use it. :)
If you want to continue using the same MacBook that will be only path forward when Apple decides to EOL it (if it hasn't already happened).
I'm a long time Homebrew on Linux user, it works really well. I always prefer it over the distro supplied package manager for user facing CLI apps.
- sethops1 20d agoApple was selling Intel Mac Pros in 2023, it's absurd these things are coming up on EOL already.
- vor_ 20d agoCheck out MacPorts. It was the original package manager, still going strong, and it supports Macs going all the way back to the Leopard era. It also always used /opt instead of taking over /usr/bin like Homebrew.
