I installed some games from GOG on the steam deck. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to make them show up in steam library. For software that requires modifying the system, you'll have to jailbreak the steam os. It's quite straight forward and irc it took me about 30min to enable sudo and install ydotool for autoclicker.

Well yeah, it's built to run proton which is wine to emulate windows games. I'm talking about using it as a Linux machine outside of purely steam / windows games. Try to install megasync, for example

If it can be installed on arch, it can be installed on steam OS. You just have to jailbreak it beforehand, as I said in the previous comment.

Just run Distrobox if you want to run something outside of flatpaks.

From my exp, the mojo installer (the GUI installer most GoG games' Linux versions come with) does not require sudo
