In a thread on backups, somebody mentioned backing up homebrew. So that means homebrew exists for linux, and that some active participants here use it.
And indeed, there is homebrew for linux: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux Presumably, the use is for packages that either don't exist on debian (or ubuntu), or packages whose versions are much newer on homebrew. So i'm wondering if there's a list somewhere whose rows are packages and whose columns are debian, ubuntu, and homebrew versions. This would be to see what advantages (if any) there are of using homebrew in addition to the regular packaging system. I would ask on the homebrew forum, but it seems like you have to actually try to install homebrew before you can ask a newbie question. https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/new?category=getting-started However, i don't want to get started installing homebrew (tempting though it is) without having a reason. Thanks in advance for any info. dan
