Some people don't like to use Homebrew on Linux. Don't ask me why. But let me give you a good reason to use it.
I migrated from a laptop to a desktop. On both I have Bazzite DX running. Since I was migrating to a larger NVMe as well, I re-installed the base OS, but then just "rsync" the "/home" BTRFS volume from one side to another.
Since I don't rpm anything, the only thing missing were a few Flatpak apps that I had to install manually (because they were installed system-wide). Everything else was there. All the apps I installed with "brew" were just working. No drama.
Thanks for making my life easier.

@badnetmask Check out the brew bundle command, you can have one file with both brew and flatpaks for everything.
