I am having a bit of a brain freeze here but I would like to install pandoc but I don’t want to disable the default steam deck settings to do so even though using pacman on the command line would be way simpler I don’t want to fiddle if I don’t have to fiddle.
Can I not just download a binary and point Linux towards it? I know this is a silly question but frustratingly I am more familiar with how you are supposed to do this on windows with the $home variable nonsense.


I don’t have a steam deck to test this but something like distroshelf can help.

It allow you to use a distro inside a podman container.
