I did not start programming early enough, but I think that these virtual environments for controlling versions/dependencies may be a modern programming paradigm.

Well at least in college, I wasn't introduced it in C/C++ and now I am developing in Latex, being an older language as well, and it doesn't have these ""features"".

Preinstalled packages are here:

/usr/local/texlive/2025basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex

Local Package

If you want a local packages, you need to add a local path
