Am I the only one who prefers using ’brew’ for package management on my Linux machine. Obviously I use the OS package manager for anything I might need system-wide, but 99% of the things I install only need to be user-level. For those who weren’t aware this was a thing…

i’m never going back to windows. it’s either linux (which i’m currently using) or mac. having the same package manager on both would be very great. thanks for sharing this.

I'm not sure I would say I would NEVER go back to Windows. I've been around for too many paradigm shifts in the industry, but I haven't used Windows as my everyday driver for probably over 2 decades, and I have no plans for that to change anytime soon. It honestly comes down to the tools you use. That is what you should pay attention to. Don't get caught in any vendor lock-in thinking you can't do your job without an app that locks into a particular OS.

yeah, you’re right. it comes down to the tools more than the os, and i haven’t really paid attention to that. it can quietly turn into an assumption that i can’t work on another os, so it’s good for everyone to pay attention to it. thanks for the advice.
