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.
