I've gotten into the habit of installing self built stuff under /usr/local and non-free binaries under /opt. Or actually I put my huge library of two AppImages under /opt too. I've thought about installing "environment modules" since that's what we use at work to manage what version of what software is in $PATH etc. Looks like it's even packaged for Debian as environment-modules. But kind of overkill for my purposes and we have people to maintain that at work so it's not like I'm familiar with it. > 3. keep track of such customizations As I only have two places to check so keeping track isn't a problem. Remembering to remove old stuff is, even Debian packages. Trying to figure out this problem I removed over 100 packages that were from oldstable (i.e. Stretch) and no longer in Buster. Mostly libs that had no dependencies to anything so probably stuff that was really old.
