Not sure if anyone has a Steam Deck here, but I was trying to install Chromium (not Chrome) on the Steam Deck. Well, no one is willing to actually answer my question directly on Reddit, so I'll try it here. I have got to setting the sudo password, but when I tried the install command

sudo apt install chromium-browser

I get an error that apt command not found. I'm probably going to install Windows once dual boot is made available. But for now I just want to see if I can install apps not in the Steam Discover app store. Thanks.

Yea, that's what I've heard. Steam OS is basically a locked down OS, they discourage the use of apps outside of the Discover app store. I think I'm going to give up on using it for more than gaming, I'll setup dual boot Windows 10 on it once Valve releases the official dual boot support.
