There are lots of useful programs that can be installed through the Discover Software Center as flatpacks. Some of my favourites are Gimp, Kdenlive, Kodi, Blender, LibreOffice, CoreKeyboard, Discord, Flatseal, KDiskMark, MComix, Calibre, and Pidgin.
Some fun ones are Space Cadet Pinball, Prism Launcher (for Minecraft) and Heroic Games Launcher (for GOG, Epic Games and now also Amazon Games).
If I had a Deck I’d probably use it more for Calibre than anything else honestly. The thought of having my entire book and game libraries on one portable device sounds amazing.
