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.

People should know its an option they can. Explore. Especially since this person was using it as a reason to call the steamdeck not a PC.

I agree 100%! I just know that the average Joe doesn’t look at these things the same way we do. :/
