Linuxbrew missing on fresh ISO install

General
1

I just installed the latest and greatest bluefin-dx:latest (nvidia variant) featuring Fedora 41, to a clean drive. After I booted it up, the brew command was nowhere to be found, and /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew has no files at all, just three subfolders for Caskroom, Homebrew, and sbin.

I then tried another fresh install of the bazzite-nvidia-gnome:stable variant (i forget the exact naming convention, sorry), and it also didn’t have brew present. But the /home/linuxbrew folder only had a .git subfolder.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Also, I have another machine which was already running bazzite, and when I updated it, brew worked fine.

Can you post an rpm-ostree status of the affected system?

Its pretty basic. I hadn’t done any setup to speak of post-install/first-use wizard.

On this particular machine, I installed bazzite and then tried to switch to bluefin to fix it. Didn’t work. I also did a clean install of bluefin earlier, but I’ve wiped it to put bazzite on there.
