I tried to understand what homebrew is and why I need it on my machines. It looks like clutter? Can someone give an example of a good use case, please. Or is this just something the Bazzite devs want? The documentation is not very helpful and it doesn’t look like anyone is using it.

    And this is…safe? I know we do things now different on immutable distros, but I’m used to the old repo-thing where I had at least a little bit of control over the supply chain. Now it’s just “hey we download something from somewhere, it’s cool ,trust us”?

      Homebrew itself and the packages it downloads are all on GitHub. So, I guess it is safe. Still, it is probably best to stick with trusted packages and not download random stuff from there.
