If you’re using linux and also use brew package manager on your machine, what is your use case? I’m curious why people would use brew in addition to their distribution’s native package manager.

    I don’t, but people probably do because the package(s) they want are more available in that system.

    It’s primarily for Macs, isn’t it? Cross-platform availability is probably a factor.

      Or just because they are used to it and don’t want to learn a new package manager and all its features and quirks. Would be a shame though. Everyone should!
