Found out the version of neovim on PopOS was fairly outdated, and I would like to use more recent versions. So I am confronted with these choices : Do I go for PPAs, or is distrobox fine for this purpose? While distrobox works well, I am worried that mismatches in packages could cause issues.

About flatpak: it is a no-go for me in this usecase, since it takes quite a bit of configuration to “escape” the sandbox.

      Yeah, just tried and there were no issues with dependencies. However, it seems like language servers are not working well. Gotta see how much of a hassle it is to go through it. EDIT: It was missing gcc, installed it and it works! It was less hassle than I expected, thank you!!
