I need to use Microsoft Fonts since I use my Deck as a laptop replacement and I don't know how to download/install MS Fonts (preferrably MS 10/11). I don't have a MS image or CD to rip it from there :/

Steam OS is based on arch, so this should have the information you need

SteamOS uses inmutable partitions, you can't install things using pacman safely. For OP's problem my first thought is using a virtual machine or a whole different OS. Maybe there are fonts in Discover/Flathub, which is what SteamOS is designed to use, but I don't know if that could work.

Yeah I'm using Dancing Script for handwriting fonts and Roboto as a more "Times New Roman"-esque font for formal use cases

I've seen this but the AUR isn't open by default and there's a reason why it's not opened. I've read that it can lead to faulty behaviour and software not working properly
