I've been learning Python for a few months and now want to expand my setup to include several Linux distributions for development (e.g., Debian-based, Arch-based, and a minimal container approach). What general strategies do you recommend for managing tools, configurations, and package versions across different distributions without getting tangled? Are there any universal practices for syncing dotfiles, handling virtual environments, and keeping the workflow reproducible? I'd love to hear your experiences and suggestions on how to keep things clean and portable. 😊

Do you have a preferred method for version-controlling your dotfiles across both Debian-based and Arch-based systems—maybe using a bare Git repo or a tool like chezmoi? Also, would you recommend a single Python virtual-env manager (e.g., pyenv-virtualenv) to keep packages consistent across the different distro containers?
