Containers correctly used make things much easier.

“I need to build this software stack for Debian 10 on Arm64 but I am running arch on x86” -> Docker container with Debian cross compilation toolchain and all is good. “But I need a modern compiler”, install it in the container, problem solved and you know the system depa match.

“This software is only validated on Ubuntu 24.04”, container.

Everyone has already mentioned have a dev environment that exactly matches prod save hardware, containers.
