I personally prefer building custom images for these distroboxes, where I set up entire toolchains etc inside. So then my OS is immutable, but also all the build tools and whatnot can be rebuilt using a simple podman build command. Generally only really desktop-ish stuff stays on the host machine (e.g. i3, but also polybar and dmenu), but the rest goes into these distroboxes.
