Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault. (lemmy.world)

If you really hate flatpak just make an arch distrobox and download off the AUR. Or install Nix or something

I do sort of wish Nix was a more popular distro agnostic solution

That's what I've done with my deck. Some things just aren't available through discover, and the Firefox build on there has behavior that I don't like or know how to correct. Distrobox gives me access to the Arch repos + AUR with persistence that you can't get on SteamOS without it.

SteamOS is an arch derivative, so you could also just install arch, add the SteamOS repos, and set the steam UI in gamescope to launch on login

Or just use Arch... only for half of your AUR packages to be broken and end up still using flatpaks anyways.

Install Gentoo and put the package on GURU, it's really easy (and .ebuild > PKGBUILD)
