  • If you're using Fedora there's toolbox (I know it's there for other distros but you have to check) for Fedora which let you have persistent containers for unprivileged development environment which holds a seperate set of DNF install and tools for development, and you can have multiple containers for multiple set of tools, if you do so prefer that.
