jokro ,

I'm thinking of switching to Aeon from Tumbleweed, but i always wonder how you would work with cli tools, like LaTeX or various compilers. Is distrobox the way to go? Does it work seamless?

Same. I think you just use transactional-update instead of zypper when you're ready to install something permanently. I don't know what the package selection looks like though.

But anything that's going to need frequent updates should probably be installed outside of transactional-update. For compilers, I generally use some kind of compiler version manager (e.g. rustup for Rust), which would be outside of the immutable base.
