DOC: explain how mamba2 and micromamba2 differ #3571

Closed lucascolley closed 1 week ago

lucascolley commented 3 weeks ago

Reading the mamba 2.0 changes page in the docs, I understand the general sentiment that mamba and micromamba have become more similar to each other. I also understand from other docs pages that they are still different in that they can be installed differently.

Aside from that, how do they differ? Why might I choose to use one over the other?

I'm assuming they are exactly identical, just one is statically linked and the other dynamically linked in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/195371. Could be wrong, though, based that on the changelog: https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_zone/changes-2.0.html

We are wording this with #3610, I would invite you to give it a review if you can. :slightly_smiling_face:
