 ## Why does Homebrew on Linux recommend that I install to `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew`?
 
-The precompiled binary bottles of non-relocatable bottles can only be used if you install in `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew`, otherwise they have to be built from source. Install Homebrew on Linux in `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/` if possible so that you can use precompiled binary packages (known as bottles) for non-relocatable formula. If you do not yourself have admin privileges, consider asking your admin staff to create a `linuxbrew` role account for you with home directory `/home/linuxbrew`.
+Homebrew's pre-built binary packages of most software can only be used if you install in `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew`, otherwise they have to be built from source. Building from source can take a long time, is error-prone and isn't as well supported as using our binaries. Install Homebrew on Linux in `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/` if possible so that you can use our pre-built binary packages (known as bottles) for formulae.
