In python, when you install stuff with pip, it is recommended to use a venv, to avoid breaking dependencies for a program when uninstalling another one, or when two programs need two different versions of the same dependence.

I was wondering if with Rust is the same, or if Cargo manages it all on its own (kind of like apt does), and I shouldn’t care about it.

Also since I know Linux kernel is using some Rust, isn’t there a risk of breaking my system if I uninstall a program that need some deps that the system itsel needs?

      Kind of but it is also only needed at compile time, the dependencies are not used at runtime, instead everything is compiled and statically linked into the executable.
