 ## Alternative Installs
 
-### OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) and below
-Because GitHub now only allows clients that support TLS 1.2 to access repositories over HTTPS, the Homebrew installer will use the Git protocol when run on systems older than OS X Mavericks (10.9). This requires the availability of a `git` binary, which can be provided by pre-installing the [Command Line Tools for Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/download/more/). Homebrew will also require the Command Line Tools or Xcode in order to automatically compile and install a newer `curl` and `git` with support for TLS 1.2.
+### Linux or Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux

+Check out [the Linuxbrew installation documentation](Linuxbrew.md).
 
 ### Untar anywhere
 Just extract (or `git clone`) Homebrew wherever you want. Just avoid:
