CI and development improvements

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
The CI chain and general development environment could use some improvements to make some things easier.
Things I noticed so far:
- [x] no pre-commit (#1751)
- [x] no linting (#1753)
- [x] no stale option for issues/prs (#1754)
- [ ] ci improvements
- [ ] docker deployment on github actions
- [ ] security checks

**Describe the solution you'd like**
The solution should address multiple things like devcontainer and github actions improvements.
I encourage everyone to contribute more ideas or feedback, these are just proposals
