Issue with extensions that use conda python environments

Due to the changes in the conda licensing that took place a few years ago and restructuring of the products that they offer, I’m no longer able to use the main conda repositories for building and managing environments. It seems that some of the extensions now have an environment building step which now fails to run and I’m guessing it relies on conda.

Are there any ways to switch to using either a different package manager or forcing the system to only use conda-forge? Is this something that I’d need to setup in a conda config file. Ideally I’d like to be able to move away from conda and use something like uv to manage packages but I’m guessing that this would be a more involved process.
