You can install Homebrew (a package manager for macOS and Linux) without disabling the read-only partition with sudo steamos-readonly disable.
The package manager can be used alongside Flatpaks. Some software is only available on Flathub, and some software is only available on Homebrew.

  1. Switch to desktop mode (hold power button until a menu appears, then select "Switch to desktop mode")
  2. Click the logo at the bottom left, go to System, then go to Konsole
