I just found 2 bugs in gtk4 that I’m really interested in fixing as a way to start contributing to open source but what would be the recommended way of creating a gtk dev environment or any other system wide library?

Should I create a virtual machine and do the changes and tests there? Or is it better to do it with something like distrobox? What are the best and most common practices?

I usually contribute building and testing on my own system, but I’m afrai with gtk I might cause problems with other apps.

I’d reallly appreciate links and materials about it.
