if it doesn't need system level access, you can use distrobox. It's set up out of the box on bazzite, so they make it easy. If you have to do this for more than a few things, it might be easier to just use a normal distro.

If it does need system access, you can use layering, but that's discouraged. The more stuff you layer the more problems can pop up, and you would be better off with a normal distro.
