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 will if it’s an obscure package that has a recipe, otherwise I avoid it to keep my paths as clean as possible. It can end up making a confusing mess of things if you accidentally install something via other means that also gets installed by brew as a dependency, as an example.
