How do you containerize stuff you install from source in a way that you can completely remove later?
How do you containerize stuff you install from source in a way that you can completely remove later?
I'm doing a bunch of AI stuff that needs compiling to try various unrelated apps. I'm making a mess of config files and extras. I've been using distrobox and conda. How could I do this better? Chroot? Different user logins for extra home directories? Groups? Most of the packages need access to CUDA and localhost. I would like to keep them out of my main home directory.

I use a mixture of systemd-nspawn and different user logins. This is sufficient for experimentation, for actual use I try to package (makepkg) those tools to have them organized by my package manager.
Also LVM thinpools with snapshots are a great tool. You can mount a dedicated LV to each single user home to keep everything separated.
