Wait, its installed by default?
I assumed I had to install it, which would not be possible, because its immutable and there is no rsync flatpak (I think).
You can install system wide apps by turning off immutabe mode and configurating something. I might be talking out my ass though cause I have done this but I don’t remember if it persisted across updates.
You can for sure! It’s just I wouldn’t go around recommending that to just any person because they then might get a little crazy with the freedom, brick their Steam deck install, and then try to say that the Deck is a POS.
Bad word of mouth is always a lot more damaging than spreading the good word that it’s a solid system.

What do you mean immutable?
SteamOS is immutable, so you can’t install system-wide apps on there, only flatpaks, appimages etc.

You don’t need to turn off anything, you can install whatever package you want, but they’ll be overwritten by some updates
