Yep. Remember that the deck is a PC, so you'd install them, not "sideload" anything.
You'll still most likely need to run the setup with a compatibility layer (i.e. WINE/proton). Just add the setup as a non-steam game and install it via the steam client (in Desktop mode)
Thanks for the info. Well, if I'm using SteamOS anyway could I do it without the steam client and no internet connection?
