I’m the opposite: I want my development tools to use my operating system’s package manager. Nothing enrages me quite like how, when I want to pull in a Python dependency, I have to reach for Python’s parallel package manager. Now I have to keep track of what apt installed and what pip installed. Then I move to do a rust project and there’s now another parallel package manager I need to use to install those dependencies! Yuck!

apt install build-essential or whatever the rpm equivalent is, gets you most of the way to building a C or C++ project.
