You know, immutable enterprise systems.
I installed HeliumOS (Almalinux bootc) on a corebooted Chromebook. Works really well, but audio needs to be configured.
The script needs a recent python which is not available there.
Go and rust can be installed for a user only. Is there something similar for python?
You might consider trying Miniconda, a version of Anaconda. It installs a local python environment of your choosing at a user level. https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/
You can install the new version of python but leave the system default python as is. You can launch a specific version of python by adding the version number
So python3.12 vs just python3
Can you use pyenv for the script?
You should be able to have multiple versions with an environment manager, maybe customize your shell profile to alias python to the one you want and the other users can alias to the one they want. I’m sure there’s a better way, but I strongly dislike python every time I try to learn it because Perl was the first language I learned, ruining me for strongly opinionated languages.

One solution could be to install uv for a single user, and use that to install and run a Python interpreter.
