Ubuntu 24.10 ships an ancient version of nodenv from 2015 (https://packages.ubuntu.com/oracular/nodeenv). Please consider using virtualenv to install pre-commit instead of relying on outdated system packages.

[winstonsung]

I've tried to create virtual environment, but then the system complained about cannot import pkg_resources.

Our CI runs on Ubuntu 24.04, pre-commit is executed there as uvx pre-commit run --all (which creates virtualenv underneath) and it works just fine.
