While not terribly interesting for most end users, it'd be very helpful to have this when trying to set up a native developer environment directly on Deck hardware. The Steam Runtime SDK docs recommend it...

https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/sniper/sdk/-/blob/steamrt/sniper/doc/podman.md

... and podman/flatpak are already on the system. The Arch package supposedly adds ~10.6MB to the root, which seems worth it IMO since the whole point of toolbx is that it can run unprivileged and installing it manually kind of ruins that.

Hi, the OS already ships distrobox as an alternative to toolbx

Oh, huh - I'll take a look soon. Should this be mentioned in the steamrt docs somewhere?

Filed a steam-runtime issue: ValveSoftware/steam-runtime#739

So I guess this is mostly a conversation between SteamOS and the SLR SDK, happy to try things out as this develops.
