It was trying to solve off of what was available on osx-arm64

That’s the one. I just use it locally without the sync feature enabled

That’s great that they make a useful tool and have a reasonable one time cost. I miss that era of software

I read the trilogy aloud to both of my kids (separately) and it remains a favorite for all of us.

From a quick glance, it seems like mise overlaps quite a bit with pixi's features. I've never really played around with lazygit -- mostly I just use git directly from the command line, although I think it's included in LazyVim that I base my neovim config on

There is some experimental work to give pixi a way to globally register environments github.com/prefix-dev/p... Overall though, pixi is very useable and very fast, and I would recommend giving it a try. If you have any specific questions, I'm happy to give additional details about my experience
Feature Idea: `pixi env` "conda workflow" · Issue #1610 · prefix-dev/pixi
EDIT: This initial proposal is outdated because its already clear this is not what the community wants. Please follow the thread as there is no clear conclusion yet!. One of the most asked features...

You do have to get used to leaving behind a conda-style workflow based on a global registry of envs, to pixi's project based envs. I get around this by using a common directory for envs that are shared between projects and then use a shell function to mimic `conda activate <name>`.

Being able to do a multi-platform solve extremely fast and get a lock file is huge. There are some rough edges when you want environments that mix conda and pypi packages, due to the fact that pixi solves conda and then pypi sequentially and that can cause issues (github.com/prefix-dev/p...).

pixi has been pretty solid so far. I use `pixi global` as a homebrew replacement based on conda-forge for all of my favorite cli tools (ripgrep, bat, git, pre-commit, etc). For creating environments it's been good. I strongly prefer a pixi.toml definition vs the conda environment.yaml w/ selectors.

I switched to Feedbin the next day and haven’t thought about Google Reader since.

If anyone has suggestions for macos tools they like, I'm curious to hear recommendations,

3. Using pixi to manage all of my cli tools with `pixi global install`
4. starship.rs for my prompt. I had been using powerlevel10k, configuring starship felt easier
5. Replace Docker Desktop with Orbstack

1. Removing conda initialization from my .zshrc. I have a few envs that I can activate with aliases: `alias ca_foo='eval "$(~/miniforge3/bin/conda shell.zsh activate foo)"'`, but I'm going to try to go full in on pixi (pixi.sh).
2. zoxide (github.com/ajeetdsouza/...) as a cd replacement with fzf
