Using asdf-vm or alternatives instead of version specific runtimes

[OriR]

Hey there! 👋
Stumbled into this by accident through your dotfiles and I love the concept!

However, I work a lot with node and tend to use different versions of node for different repositories - the older the repo, the older the node version it requires.

It would be great if instead of actually installing a specific version here

It could instead, install something like asdf-vm or nvm (specifically for node) and use these to actually install a specific runtime version.

If you don't care about this kind of versioning - nothing changes, since there will always be just the one version defined in your path.
If you do care about this kind of versioning - it would add it as part of the machine setup so you would use that when needed.

hmm, this is actually pretty much outdated... I haven't been using it for a long time...

will update readmes and archive, thanks for pointing it out though, feel free to fork/copy and do what's best for your use case. :)

Oh... so how do you set up a new machine nowadays? 🤔
