SteamOS is immutable, so you can't install system-wide apps on there, only flatpaks, appimages etc.

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.

(IIRC) the changes are reverted after each update so you'd have to re-install every app.
