   @dave @jorge Yeah, it does look interesting. And their approach with homebrew is one I tried on Silverblue (ran into the same issues but sounds like they’ve fixed them).

     @aral @dave the issue is the homebrew installer puts brew in your path. This can break things. If you `brew install ffmpeg` for example, it pulls in a pk11 library that breaks flatpaks.

     Our solution was to only set the path on an interactive terminal, which is where you're using your CLI apps. We haven't found problems with this setup so far. I'm hoping to interact with more homebrew folks and see how people can help make it better on Linux.
