These days I'm just throwing each project into a fresh LXC on a server.

All these different languages have their own approach and each then also user/global/multiple versions...it's just not worth figuring out

Question: what makes you choose LXC over Docker?

IMO, while their use cases do overlap, LXC is more geared towards a user installing things while Docker is more geared towards a developer creating a ready to use package.

LXC creates environments, while Docker creates apps, is another way to say it.

Much of a sameness really but I prefer the more persistent disk style of lxc plus ssh plus vscode ssh remote extension.

Depends on task though I've got dockers and VMs in use too

Same, but with Docker. I don't like conda, was fine with virtualenv, but using docker there's only one python and you can just pip install and not worry about multiple environments.
