i've been using releases from there for years and i've never had any problems, you can find people saying the same thing on sites like reddit

Why "less"? Gentoo is about choice, you can still compile all packages, this just gives you the option to install binaries if you prefer that.

/tmp and /var/tmp are writable to regular users on most distributions

Dolphin has a dual panel mode:

Also, we’re all using proprietary hardware

Sure, I have proprietary bits on my kernel and my AMD GPU needs proprietary firmware loaded to work, but that's a hell lot different than the situation NVIDIA shoves users into. It's one thing to have small proprietary components that don't bother me or break my workflow, it's another to have black box drivers that can bork my setup if I dare to update my packages.

Wayland fixes VRR, mixed refresh rate display setups, screen tearing, X11 security bugs AND makes bigots mad? Sign me up! :-)

Wayland does not work properly on NVidia hardware

That's a feature, stop buying hardware from vendors that treat GNU/Linux and *BSD users as second-class citizens and locks them into proprietary drivers.

Wayland is biased toward Linux and breaks BSD

Seems to work just fine on FreeBSD.

Wayland breaks games

Games are developed for X11. And if you run a game on Wayland, performance is subpar due to things like forced vsync. Only recently, some Wayland implementations (like KDE KWin) let you disable that.

Gaming performance is actually better on Wayland.

I tried Homebrew once in a VM and didn't like it, I felt it was too invasive.

  1. https://github.com/Homebrew/install/blob/85c5f4b57452dbd1c7ebc01a021548d2ceaf2b64/install.sh#L173

Why does it create another user and put files under /home/linuxbrew/? Answer:

The script installs Homebrew to its default, supported, best prefix (/opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon, /usr/local for macOS Intel and /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew for Linux) so that you don’t need sudo after Homebrew’s initial installation when you brew install.

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?

Why is sudo hard-coded? Answer: it's to prevent people from using doas and other sudo alternatives.

  1. https://docs.brew.sh/Installation#untar-anywhere-unsupported

Why is installing from the tarball unsupported and so frowned upon? FFS isn't this just supposed to be a package manager? Why is everything so complicated and opinionated when compared to pip, cargo, Flatpak, etc? Compare this mess to Golang's install and uninstall process where you literally just need to tar -xzf a file or rm -rf a directory.
