Most of those options seem to mean installing what you need as a FlatPak, but I wondered what was stopping you having an entire Retro / Emulator Linux Distro on the SD Card and chrooting to that.
The only real experience I have had with chroot is when using Arch and playing around with Linux from Scratch, so I am not the most experienced here and wondering if somone else though this was do able? :)
So the other question would be how well this Retro / Emulator distro would work with the Steam Deck hardware and controler / thumbpad. That could be the only negative of doing it this way. Would think that st-controller would make this easy to configure, but do not know how compatible st-controller is with steam deck hardware.
Sorry, just sharing my thoughts here. :)
