Anaconda is a distribution, which to my understanding, includes an official version of Python. Anaconda includes its own way of doing things to solve a lot of common problems people face.
Personally, I don’t use Anaconda any longer because I ran into so many issues over so many years with conda, their package manager. I’m also almost competent enough to deal with a lot of the problems that anaconda tries to solve. This likely isn’t the case for beginners.
Virtual environments are great and, I’d argue, what people should be using 99% of the time.
