venv is not a Rpi specific skill. It is more of a Python feature.
Some guides tell you to name your virtual environment folder ".venv", which makes it invisible with the "ls" command.
I always create is as "venv", and make it visible. This folder contains all the libraries needed for your python script.
I have never been successful in moving a venv folder from one Raspberry to another. I have always restored by making a new venv, and reinstall libraries with "pip install -r requirements.txt"
