If you use the run files rather than the package manager files it's always installed in completely separate folders inside /use/local/cuda.

What you're describing with an "all" install can somewhat be accomplished with containers right now and none of the dependency problems.

Problem with runfiles is I've run into other .deb packages that I'd like to use that are marked as dependent on 'cuda'.

Using a runfile is ditching the package manager on a package-managed system, instead of using the package manager correctly.

But containers, X forwarding, visualization, and OpenGL is a complete shitshow. I have apps that work outside of a container but freeze the UI that the mouse pointer won't even work when run from within a container.

+1 for runfiles but beware of the multi-gigabyte installer + installed footprint. Not complaining per-se, just plan for it.
