Comment on Homebrew, de facto standard package manager for macOS, now forces Apple's $99/yr notarization bullshit for all casks.

  True but I desperately need no compatibility, closed source, AppleCare, expensive hardware, limited lifespan, lock in … What did you call it Linux?

    It’s crazy how bad software compatibility on macos is. I used to assume it was about the same or slightly better than linux in that regard, but my attempts to help my friend play games on macos have almost entirely failed despite the fact that I have tons of experience playing games on linux since it’s always been my main os

  I'm stuck with it at work. Plus Linux usually sucks on Mac for a long time while drivers get written

    Put your money where your mouth is and donate to Asahi Linux.

      I'll check It out. I gave up and flashed Mac back on it and gave I to my sister. At least she's off windows now.

      Only pc I have that I can do any thing with is a Thinkpad with linux

    MacPorts has always been better.

    I feel you. Once I was forced to code on a mac too. It made me insane ☠️

      Even with wsl windows was a much bigger pain imo.

      Right now the biggest issue is my company end point security

        Pre-11 windows was at least less buggier than Mac OS. But I agree: It’s a big pain too! Linux just works better for me.

  If Brew sucks, why is it the preferred package manager for CLI tools in Bazzite?

  source

  • Chaser@lemmy.zip ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I don’t use Bazzite. But if you have any pro arguments for Brew, feel free to share them. Change my mind.

      I don’t really have an opinion, just an observation that switching back to Linux for me did not take me away from Homebrew
