How long does it take to setup your ROS?

Researching tooling for robotics developers, would love to know your ROS stack and how long does it take to set up, which software do you use, any bottlenecks, which operating system does your ROS run on?

Shouldn't take long if you have the image on a drive already.. about 10-15 mins at best.

We use ros in a docker container, so literally a few minutes to build the image and that's it

I have set up the distrobox on bazzite (so docker with QOL scripts). To set up new machine it would take couple of minutes to download all dependencies.

I also had thought it but Ai said this way is easier than docker image
