Homebrew is supported on Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora.
I use it on my recent Linux Mint install. Mint has pretty old packages or enormously bloated flatpacks, that come with limitations.
neovim only came in an ancient version, that doesn’t support lazyvim. Nicotine+ came as ancient from the Mint packages or as a 4 GB monster via flatpack.
I used Homebrew and everything installed quickly in current versions and worked like a breeze.
The great thing about Homebrew is that removing it is as easy as rm -r /home/linuxbrew
Nix is great as well of course and very powerful. Can be a bit of a bitch to write all the config files though.
I think you meant to say nix lol.
Is Homebrew any good on Linux tho?
