No one knows how to uninstall Homebrew

This is my first bash script! What do you think? You plug in your droplet ip, your domain and your gitlab info and in 5 minutes your web app is live at https://yourdomain, and all future commits to main are automatically deployed. Included templates for new django, flask and fastApi projects!
Beyond what I've already said, I would refer you to look at how, e.g. Homebrew install.sh (and other repos in that project) handle a comparable setup. You can see a lot of what I have been flagging in there: tests, functions, comments, not making permanent changes outside remit, etc.

Brew Is a Bad Neighbor
I was going to say that recent installs have switched to /opt/Homebrew, but while digging up supporting evidence I noticed that they bizarrely only do that for arm64 installs: https://github.com/Homebrew/install/blob/master/install.sh#L...

Is it possible to use a container as my terminal on Mac?
The quick way to remove brew is literally on the website to install & uninstall brew: https://github.com/homebrew/install#uninstall-homebrew - if you plan to install/un/reinstall, it’s probably better to grab the actual scripts in those commands, but whatever.

Create Your Custom WSL from any Linux Distribution (Part-1)
While the ArchWSL and Fedora WSL at MS Store may seem great at first before installing, these distros have often showed compatibility issues and sometimes very weird bugs; even conflicts with scoop or chocolatey apps.

Giving Kyma a little spin ... a SpinKube
Authenticating with Kyma is a (in my opinion) unnecessary challenge as it leverages the OIDC-login plugin for kubectl. You find a description of the setup here. This works fine when on a Mac but can give you some headaches on a Windows and on Linux machine especially when combined with restrictive setups in corporate environments. For Windows I can only recommend installing krew via chocolatey and then install the OIDC plugin via kubectl krew install oidc-login. At least for me that was the only way to get this working on Windows.

Python Versions and Release Cycles
For OSX there is homebrew or pyenv (pyenv is another solution on Linux). As pyenv compiles from source it will require setting up XCode (the Apple IDE) tools to support this which can be pretty bulky. Windows users have chocolatey but the issue there is it works off the binaries. That means it won't have the latest security release available since those are source only. Conda is also another solution which can be picked up by Visual Studio Code as available versions of Python making development easier. In the end it might be best to consider using WSL on Windows for installing a Linux version and using that instead.
