I see the HomeBrew website claims it's for Linux. Linux doesn't need it. I've even installed rpms (Redhat) on Debian. Any Debian based Linux uses .deb (via apt), snap and flatpak and can use rpm. I added synaptic to my Ubuntu Mate ARM64 Raspberry Pi4b. Also the direct download script here https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux works for most distros of Linux and automatically installs x86-64 or ARM64. Worked for Pi even without Synaptic installed.
Yes, I have never heard of anybody using it on Linux, and no idea how it compares with other package managers for Linux.

Of course on macOS there is also MacPorts and Fink, but Homebrew is much more popular.
