Just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why my Python program using matplotlib wouldn't run, only to find out that I also needed to install PyQt6, which then seemed to require installing libxcb-cursor-dev in order to get running.

Now I'm starting to remember why I stopped working with Linux all those years ago. :moodface: Not to mention that working with python3 on the command line and outside of an IDE (or even inside one that's not specifically designed for it) is so frustrating. The virtual environment thing is really starting to get on my last nerve.

So, all you Python nerds out there, I have a question for you: which "virtual environment" manager should I be using? Given venv, Conda, Poetry, pyenv, pipenv, and whatever other one of the 1,000 ones I'm forgetting, how does one choose?

And why is it this hard? This is ludicrous.
