Hi, Here's another update of my attempt at fixing ruby gems. In 2025 they are still being installed in the wrong location by default. Not only that, but the rubygems project provides *no way* to override this. That's why all linux distributions suggest users to set GEM_HOME themselves. Once again my solution is really simple and fixes everything: https://github.com/felipec/rubygems/commit/0811ccf16d Why are rubygems developers not applying this harmless patch? You can read about that in my blog post: https://felipec.wordpress.com/2025/08/17/ruby-gems-still-broken/ Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
