Changes on the /projectbluefin/bluefin image vs. /ublue-os/bluefin -- I assume these are expected

Tmux, htop and full vim are no longer on the image. I used brew to bring them back. I'm assuming this is the way.

Yes, brew is fine to use and IMHO recommended. For instance, I have installed neovim via brew.

I also added neovim and micro using ujust devmode

Brew is really the secret sauce for Atomic. I didn't even know that there was a Linux version, and it takes care of so many pain points.

Yeah there's lots of subtle changes I'll put in the rollup when things are more ready. Some of these will be installed in brew automatically.

You can also bring in CLI tools using the Conda ecosystem instead of brew. Have a look at the Pixi project and their "Global Tools" feature. I've completely replaced brew on my machines and it's been a great experience overall.

I've had a lot of issues with brew packages being MAC OS only. I've also had dependencies brew brings in cause issues with system installed software in the past that was a bit of a headache. I like that Pixi Global Tools isolates dependencies from your shell environment so your less likely to hit some of those edge case issues. So I'm a bit biased.
