Do you use it? Do you like it? Dislike it? How do you think it compares to the native package manager, or other cross-distro package managers like Snap or Flatpak?

    Why should I use some ruby program to manage packages instead of a compiled tool?

    Didn’t ever feel like using it.

    With access to the AUR on Arch-based distros, I don’t have the need for it. Normally, I choose:

    1. Distribution package
    2. Flatpak
    3. AUR
    4. AppImage

    I haven’t yet come across something which is available in homebrew but not in one of these options. I’d use it if I had a need. Currently, I haven’t needed to use any AppImages but have in the past when Flatpak has been slower to update for Ultimaker Cura.
