I’ve found #ubuntu #multipass to be sweet-spot for me for creating #development environments, meaning environments with toolchains, project specific assets and stuff like that.
Like if I spin up a new project or whatever, I just:
multipass launch \
--name project \
--cpus 4 \
--memory 8G \
--disk 100G \
--bridged \
23.10
multipass exec project -- yes '' | ssh-keygen -t ed25519
multipass exec project -- cat .ssh/id_ed25519.pub
Totally get #Podman and #Nix but learning them only to do this would be a total overkill…
Additional notes:
My next thing is to write a script that takes KICK2 preset file, parses the XML and saves two Bitwig curve presets :-) This way I get away from having to edit programmatically an actual Grid preset, which would be probably too complicated. KICK2 has pretty simple format…
So:
I wonder why universe decided to swallow this :-)
