AppImage and Docker has resolved a lot of that for me if its not in my distros package manager. It's my goto for the same reason of just not wanting to deal with it.
How do you use appimage for binaries built from source?
Premade AppImage or self-contained binary, I'll usually drop it into ~/.local/bin.
Something I have to compile, I'll usually do in a dockerfile tracked in my dotfiles repo.
Only thing I've compiled from source on my host in the last year is https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice.
Could just be my use cases now compared to 10 years ago, but I've just found I'm rarely compiling these days on the host system. At least the configure-make-install or ninja variety. I'm sure I install a package here or there that does it in the background. Numpy comes to mind or an AUR package with Arch.
