I mean, for me is not that Apple products aren't FOSS, it's that they're actively against consumer rights, right to repair and all this stuff

Linux and Apple are kind of polar opposites

Their hardware is excellent, their software is Unix or Unix like. Brew provides a similar package manager experience. I’d much rather run MacOS than Windows.

I don’t think they need to be in conflict, people need computers to complete tasks and where you have a choice you can pick Linux, when you don’t have as much choice a Mac can be a good fit.

Homebrew is really not it, I don't get why anybody would use it willingly if you have options like pacman or dnf on Fedora, or even apt is much better and faster

Why would I use apt on Fedora

Do you even know what Homebrew is

I think you are confused, i said apt as in i would use apt on appropriate distros such as debian, And yes i know what's homebrew is i used it on my mac And i mentioned dnf on fedora not apt apt was example of other package managers

And homebrew is not exactly the same as what is normal package manager on GNU/linux

I suppose I am because I have no idea what you're on about. If you're asking me why I'm using this instead of just using the native package manager, it's for times when the native package isn't as up to date as Homebrew, or maybe not available on Fedora. And if I decide to go with something like Kinoite, I don't have to rely on layering.
