From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks for the read. This is what I was thinking about trying but hadn't quite fleshed out yet. It is right on the edge of where I'm at in my learning curve. Perfect timing, thanks.
Do you have any advice when the packages are mostly python based instead of makefiles?
for python, a bunch of venvs should do it
This method should work with any command that's installing files on your disk but it's probably not worth the headache when virtual environments exist for python.
