As one of the other replies to this comment mentioned, this is one of the pain points that the company System76 has spent some time working on. I think it's because it addresses a core part of their target market: professional developers or other users who might need access to the GPU for programming, but don't have the time or motivation to learn how to play around with a CUDA installation from scratch (I'm making the assumption that's probably a large part of your problem, as it has been mine).
Their Ubuntu-based distro, Pop!_OS, does a lot of good in this regard, and is really pretty plug and play for an Intel/NVIDIA combo set-up. The driver that they use to manage their CUDA install is also available for plain Ubuntu[1], and I've had good experience with using that to manage my own set-up running an Intel Xeon/NVIDIA P-series (if I'm remembering correctly). I haven't given it a shot on Debian, and if you're using something like Arch, there's a decent chance you'll be out of luck.
Note: I'm not affiliated with System76 in any way, just have slammed my head into this problem on multiple occasions and found this to be my go-to way of managing it.
