Containers, and snapshots+clones are your friend. For a while I was doing ZFS snapshots and clones of Gentoo userlands.
However, if you knew how bad things really are with glibc and how not-well designed Linux is to resist badly behaving software, and how easily some big players can inject badly behaving software into the channels you are fetching from, you would probably seriously consider Qubes.
illumos is a kernel you can rely on to run somewhat arbitrary software.
