In the next version of Bun `bun install --linker=isolated` brings pnpm-style isolated, symlinked node_modules to bun install. This is a big improvement for using `bun install` in monorepos.

@dylanconway111 To configure this, set `install.linker = "isolated"` in bunfig.toml. We recommend this for all workspaces going forward, and might make it a default setting for workspaces in Bun v1.3.

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 oh, that should fix our issue, finally

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 awesome!! i stuck to pnpm until now just for their node modules style. will try soon

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 @CalebPanza, we need to configure this

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 does this mean i can have two versions of the same package in a monorepo

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 and much needed as well. Had to switch to pnpm because of this.

@bunjavascript @jarredsumner @dylanconway111 Is it about saving disk space or is there another improvement for monorepo users?

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 Huge. Gg bun team

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 I literally switched from bun to pnpm to solve this yesterday

@bunjavascript @jarredsumner @dylanconway111 Bun update -i --catalogs when.

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 Nice! This fixes an issue with using NativeWind (which only supports Tailwind CSS v3) while using Tailwind CSS v4 for other packages in my workspace.

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 does it make sense when we ensure our deps are consistent across packages though?

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 Sick!

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 Does this mean @turborepo will now work more reliably with Bun? Previously, using Bun with Turborepo was considered unstable — does the new --linker=isolated option finally make Bun a stable choice for Turborepo monorepos?

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 Seeing very slow times for installs (30s+) with this setting in my basic three-package monorepo - @jarredsumner whats the best way to share info privately on this, its on a private repo of mine

@bunjavascript @dylanconway111 Does it affect stack traces similar to pnpm does? It makes the paths unreasonably long & verbose.
