Yeah conda is slow af, but you can change the env solver which makes things much faster and there's also mamba/miniconda which I haven't tried but is supposedly much faster

With things like wsl, conda has also become less useful. Anaconda is terrible software and the need for conda managed packages is mostly lost outside of the windows OS in my opinion.

Conda actually now uses the Mamba solver under the hood, as of the 23.10.0 release: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/release-notes.html#id43

Unfortunately, their release notes page is buggy, so this link will stop pointing to the correct release when they publish their next release...
