@alecmuffett@mastodon.social what are using instead of Homebrew? It’s been a vital part of my bringing up a new MacBook process for 10+ years. I’m less concerned about supporting older SW versions, but my last Gen intel based MacBook is still more than capable and not getting replaced anytime soon.

@dole@fosstodon.org similar here, I have one on 12.7 which I nuked and reinstalled last night, and basically support doesn't exist inside homebrew anymore. This is fair enough but leaves me either compiling everything from scratch under homebrew, including dependency hell, or alternately installing the handful of packages that I actually need, piecemeal
