RI had layered Koi with rpm-ostree but apparently Ublue devs recommend using Brew instead
RWhat's the difference?
COh really
Pbrew won't blow out how long it takes to update and you don't subject yourself to unnecessary layering
Pyou can thing about brew like a flatpak but for cli apps
Postree itself is half the reason updating takes so long
Pdistro agnostic
P^ if you need a CLI app you should go brew > distrobox > ostree layer as a last resort
RSo, should I ostree reset and then Brew Koi
Playering is not really supported very much so yeah
RMakes sense then
RWill do that later
Phonestly i'd suggest it just because layering takes so long
HThey were from both
RIs there a gui for brew or a command guide?
Anow im confused lol
P
RThanks
Pthe page is actually really good at explaining itself for once lol
Pjust keep in mind
caskyou don't really see linux stuff on brew that has any form of GUI
RHmm crazy idea but
RCould one technically do brew install steam
Pno, it would more than likely be a cask for MacOS
Pbecause steam is a GUI tool and already has other distribution methods on linux
RI see
CBut why would loads of high street shops sell them
Pyeah, steam brew package is a cask
Apretty sure any gui app in brew are strictly macos only
Pthis means it's only really useful for macos users who want a package manager - if we need that, we have our own package managers
Pthe point of brew supporting both mac and linux is so we can share CLI tools
SWhat tricks? 
Aalso cli stuff between linux and macos are basically similar enough cuz both are unix but the gui part are wildly different
RSo, Brew install Koi would work? Or do I stick to rpm-ostree for that one?
Psorta, there's still some porting process involved for actual native apps
Aholding the power button, entering bios
Asomething like that
Aevery time
Aso its not worth it
Aotherwise touch and controller dont work
Pmost apps are just leveraging other runtimes for portability, or redownloading actual binaries as a part of the formulae
Pso it doesn't really provide any actual guarantees that macos / linux CLI apps will play nice with each other, we just usually have smarter developers than that
Ai dont find any formulae named koi, if it is cask then rpm-ostree/distrobox i guess
Abrew default formulae repository enforce linux compatibility iirc

Poh it would help if i actually looked at what Koi was lmfao

copr are available just enable it and install through rpm-ostree ig

Pyeah i'm not convinced this'll end up as anything other than an RPM
Plooks like you're stuck with ostree
