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 did a few times on bazzite. But it's now aurora. Haven't had anything I was missing. Was also exporting a few things from arch in distrobox. Was more of a experiment then a necessity.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
