Where’s the logic in that? Why not just install to the user’s home directory so that you don’t even need root access in the first place?
Excellent remark! Wow, that by itself already wrote it off for me.
Why is sudo hard-coded? Answer: it’s to prevent people from using doas and other sudo alternatives.
Another home-run! Especially as I’ve been a staunch user of doas for quite a while now and wouldn’t like to give up on that. Thank you so much for informing me on this!
Your third point is also interesting to ponder upon, though it wasn’t as impactful to me personally as the previous two were.
I would like to thank you once again for your astoundingly awesome insights on this matter! This comment has definitely contributed the most in me letting go of the thought of using Homebrew entirely (while some others already informed me that GUI-apps (mostly) can’t be installed from Homebrew to function on Linux anyways).
