I’ve been trying Workstation recently. Python dependency issues caused me to switch to Silverblue for the last 2 years. A new machine with Nvidia got me to try WS. I just had a mystery problem with Python after booting today and that got me looking into Anaconda. I didn’t know it was used under the kernel like this. I’m not sure how I feel about this level of Python integration. I would feel a lot more comfortable with a less accessible precompiled binary but I know I am likely making naïve assumptions saying this. Any thoughts or insights?

    My understanding is that the OS Installer Anaconda is only run to install the OS, not at boot time. Python is a mature language, nothing wrong with implementing a not-often run install script in it IMHO. Especially at OS installation time the python environment is very well defined.
