Check out mise: https://mise.jdx.dev/
We use it at $work to manage dev envs and its much easier than Docker and Nix.
It also installs things in parallel, which is a huge bonus over plain Dockerfiles
I declared nix bankruptcy earlier this year and moved to mise. It does 90% of what I need for only 1% of the effort of nix.
