Have you tried mise? It handled most of that for me because dev environment is exactly what is needed per project

I use mise inside WSL. It's sort of a terminal into "workspace" for me. Should probably spin an orbstsck or whatever to do thisnon my macbook

I'm very curious about this - as a mise user this seems like a redundant extra level of abstraction that I can't figure out the benefits of (& WSL definitely comes with at least some downsides).

From the OP I see:

> my long journey to keep my host installation free from all the changing and breaking dev dependencies that force a reinstall every few months

mise does this 100% for me (assuming we don't count mise itself as one of those dev dependencies). I'm struggling to think of what falls outside of it?

i agree. you can quickly import distro images into named WSL VMs (distros) to keep things separated. and you get close-to-native performance (especially by disabling kernel mitigations)
