The brew install cyphernetes at the top of the page is an immediate turn-off.

  why?..

    Kubernetes only runs on linux, so it follows to reason if you care about k8s you should care about linux. My experience is also that good experienced sysadmins often use linux for their own machines as well. Targetting a tool at macOS users, and omitting linux instructions, gives the impression that the tool isn't targeted at sysadmins or hackers (i.e. at us), but rather at beginners, frontend developers, etc.

      I'm a "sysadmin". I only run Linux on my workstation. I even run NixOs on a home server. I manager Kubernetes clusters. Yet, I use Homebrew on Linux.
      • politelemon 2y ago
        Most, however, do not, nor should they be expected to. Homebrew is not a safe or viable package manager, especially when better and safer package managers exist in the Linux ecosystem.

      Saying it's targeted at beginners because it supports MacOS shows a lot of disconnection with what many DevOps people use these days. The year of the linux desktop has yet to arrive, and Mac is king for people in IT (at least in the US)

        I have yet to meet a competent sysadmin that cares much about "desktop", and to the extent they do they mostly seem to invent their own graphical tools, with Tcl/Tk and so on. Are they common where you live?
    • riku_iki 2y ago
      Brew runs on linux too..
• rjh29 2y ago
  Agree but I'm not sure why. I'm not a mac user so the initial impression is like "this isn't for you, go away". At least add a linux command alongside it!
  • fatliverfreddy 2y ago
    Thanks for the feedback. Will add more commands there on rotation to show the different installation options.

    Homebrew has a Linux variant, but I assume almost nobody uses it. Personally use a Mac with Nix, and so do many of my coworkers. Assuming Homebrew, even for a Mac user, leaves a bad impression on me.
    • jm2dev 2y ago
      I also prefer Mac with Nix over homebrew.

    Even on macOS, brew is wildly inferior to MacPorts; to be fair, brew is “blessed” by Swift Package Manager whereas MacPorts is not, but this is ironic given the guy behind MacPorts both worked at Apple and designed the original FreeBSD ports system.

      That's the very weird thing about the little universe within Apple's macOS, there are pockets of very high quality here and there, next to "what the fuck are you guys even doing?", and a Unix core that's been effectively bastardized, abandoned, and frankenstein'd Instead of Compton a short ride from Beverly Hills it's like the houses from those two wildly different hoods all stacked in a repeatedly alternating sequence.

  What? I love seeing this. I want to see how to get it quickly via package manager.
  • tasuki 2y ago
    Not everyone uses the same package manager that you use.
• allyant 2y ago
  It would be good to have some example commands that can be ran right after installation, rather than having to figure out how to run the queries.
