I didn't know anything about Boost until I had to deal with it as a set of dependencies on something I wanted to compile. Some of the imaging libraries I use as part of my document filing system use Boost. Thankfully, all of them can be coerced to use library versions installed by:
sudo apt install libboost-all-dev
I wouldn't want to venture further than that.

From www.boost.org. " Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. We emphasize libraries that work well with the C++ Standard Library. Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable across a broad spectrum of applications. The Boost license encourages both commercial and non-commercial use. We aim to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for eventual standardization. Ten Boost libraries are included in the C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) and in the new C++11 Standard. C++11 also includes several more Boost libraries in addition to those from TR1. More Boost libraries are proposed for standardization in C++17.
