It’s specifically a Mac workaround package manager. There’s better/cleaner ways to do it on Linux.

I love Debian's stability, but I rely on Homebrew (instead of apt) to get more recent releases of software. Overall it works swimmingly!

Unless you have immutable Linux where Homebrew is a preferred method of CLI tool installation.

Linux is just a kernel, not everyone agrees on what is “better” and “cleaner” to use with it!

Don't let the beer emoji in the program's output fool you: unlike most Linux package managers, Homebrew has undergone a professional security audit, and is used (along with Flatpak and Ostree) by Secureblue.
