Do Linux users actually use Homebrew day to day? My impression of it was that it's mostly for MacOS users that want to keep doing things the same way instead of learning the Linux way (using the OS package manager).
Nix is not there yet in terms of user friendliness. homebrew for linux is pretty awesome.
Only issue i have is that it creates a separate user and doesn’t support custom prefixes (their page says you are on your own if using custom prefixes). While their reasoning is sound, not having an easy way to know which programs will break if using custom prefix is a bummer for me at work.
