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.

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