Do Linux users actually use Homebrew day to day? My impression of it was that it's mostly for MacOS users that want to keep doing things the same way instead of learning the Linux way (using the OS package manager).

I have for a while yeah. As mentioned it means the distro packages don't matter for a lot of developer tools / CLIs. Wanna use a stable Debian / Ubuntu LTS for years? Want to use rolling releases so your desktop is up to date? Homebrew's got you covered.
In bazzite/Fedora Silverblue, it's the expected way non-GUI packages are installed to the host system. The other way is toolbox/distrobox (rootless containers tightly integrated with the host).
It’s the default package manager in Bazzite and is once of the most functional packagr managers on atomic fedora.
