Does NOT delete any files that were written to, for example, ~/.local or ~/.config from dev shell.

One of OP’s problems was,

I’m making a mess of config files and extras.

Any files created by programs running in the dev environments will remain.

NixOS containers could do what OP’s asking for, but it’ll be trickier with just nix (on other distro). It’ll handle build dependencies and such, but you’ll still need to keep your home or other directories clean some other way.

That’s not what libertarians believe though. Whether they’re right or not is a separate issue. The point is, they exist, and I’d expect them to also like decentralized social networks (like they like decentralized finance).

I guess most pro-capitalism people don’t mind corporate-controlled social media, and so have stayed on reddit. I don’t know why there aren’t more anti-monopolistic pro-capitalism libertarians here, though…

NixOS does that well. I never quite managed to figure out a solution to this on other distros (which is actually what led me into making the jump in the end).

Kind of - but a lot of my communities just don’t get more than one post per day, so that limits the diversity a lot.

For me at least, that’s true on lemmy, but not so much on kbin - my feed there is seems to include smaller communities too.
