RoboStack has revamped its website, promoting prefix.dev's Pixi as the preferred way to run any ROS distro in isolated per-project environments on Linux, macOS (including Apple Silicon), and Windows.
- No sudo, no Docker/dual-boot/VM; run multiple distros side by side, delete a folder and it's gone
- All packages ship as prebuilt binaries — install and launch rviz in minutes, no compiling from source
- Full conda and PyPI ecosystem (PyTorch, Jupyter, OpenCV) lives alongside ROS in one environment
- Now covers 6 active ROS distros across 6 platforms with 5,170 packages, plus guides, searchable package lists, and community support
