Needed to reinstall my secondary workstation, so picked Bluefin to try it out. Hopefully, I'm not too old for it, because... brew? ujust?

arichtman@eigenmagic.net@monsieuricon eh, you don't have to use brew - I don't. And u just is a convenience thing, it's a thin wrapper around stuff you can just muck with directly.

arichtman@eigenmagic.net@monsieuricon I should be nicer to brew...
I won't, but I should.

@arichtman I thought brew was a "try to make Darwin suck less" sort of thing?

@arichtman So, is bluefin a "try to make Linux suck as much as Darwin and then try to undo it with brew?"

luis_in_brief@social.coop@monsieuricon @arichtman it has some challenging bits (lots of things work pretty poorly with an immutable base) but for any reasonably fast-moving ecosystem, brew often works much better than distro packaging for single-user systems.

arichtman@eigenmagic.net@luis_in_brief @monsieuricon I've had largely a great time with uBlueOS spins. My biggest pain has been cramming nix into it but even that's been tractable.
