@kbob@chaos.social the one other thing I’d note about HomeBrew (which I also don’t like) is they aggressively deprecate older OS / architectures (eg x86-64 likely has only a few months support left). It’s also basically (unreproducible) binary only as far as what’s supported (you *can* build from source yourself but it’s both strongly discouraged and officially unsupported). So at this point I’d only install HomeBrew onto macOS / Apple silicon. https://docs.brew.sh/Support-Tiers

    @ewenmcneill@cloudisland.nz If you had to start over, would you stay with Homebrew over the alternatives (MacPorts, Nix, install everything ad hoc)?
