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.
Not sure if that's a good idea but if you use Fedora, you also have your root on a BTRFS partition after a default installation. You could utilize the snapshot features of BTRFS to roll back after testing.
