Coldbrew package manager

Coldbrew is a “brew” style package manager for Linux distributions that offers the full power of the Alpine Linux aports repository with no root access required Coldbrew is a bit of a mix of flatpak and homebrew. It uses a very lightweight sandbox (bubblewrap) mainly as a means of isolating dependencies and aims to server a similar goal as homebrew, but without the PATH issues homebrew brings (see: invent.kde.org/kde-linux/kde-linux/-/…/408)

One of the more bizarre experiences I’ve had is that a Canonical employee packaged a version of a Minecraft launcher. It was absolutely garbage, didn’t even start. The first thing that comes to mind is that snap is just garbage. But for fun, I made my own package of it, and it just worked perfectly....
