Not sure why so many people are recommending QubesOS AKA a virtual machine for each dev environment. Podman containers are far more lightweight, and secure enough that you won't need a full VM if you're just doing application development.

Qubes virtualization should have very little overhead.

Depends on your threat model.

But the main advantage of Qubes is its well-designed interface which allows to manage the VMs easily even without a command line if you want.
