There are two main "daily driver" usability issues on SteamOS by default if you need to do technical work:
- Limited software availability via the flatpak repositories.
- Not being able to install certain programs as easily without needing containerisation of some kind (if that even solves the problem in some cases).
Distrobox solves a good amount of both issues on SteamOS, for coding work at least. Slap a virtual Ubuntu on and you're off to the races.
