What pulls me to linux over my MacBook is the package managers. The apt-get system is much better than homebrew in my experience.

See, I don’t get this. I know that from a technical perspective apt is much nicer because its ‘first party’ to the OS, but homebrew both feels much simpler in us and its packages are so fresh that it trails the stable branch of packages by a day or so. Apt packages are frozen in place, unless you go with extra PPAs. Or if you go with a rolling release like Arch, there’s small things breaking constantly.
