How do you avoid environment setup pain when switching between GPU machines?

One of the most frustrating parts of my workflow is having to set up environments again and again when switching between machines.

Even with cloud GPUs, I still end up reinstalling dependencies, resolving version conflicts, and spending time just getting things ready before I can actually focus on the work.

I keep thinking there should be a smoother workflow something where your environment persists and can be reused instantly across sessions instead of rebuilding everything from scratch.

I’ve seen some approaches trying to reduce this friction, like swmgpu but I’m still curious how others are handling this in real workflows. Is this just something everyone tolerates, or is there actually a cleaner solution people are using?
