Homebrew keeps me on MacOS, without it I'd just use apt on Linux. Does anyone know if there's a site like brew.sh for searching apt packages? I know that ubuntu has an apt page but it's really confusing.
What do you mean by “searching apt packages”? I usually use “apt-cache search”.
I'm not sure if this is the "apt page" they're referring to, but there's https://packages.ubuntu.com/ for Ubuntu. It's helpful for searching package versions across releases, especially if I don't have an Ubuntu server handy. Other distributions have similar pages too, I believe.
