Which is the easiest way to install KDE Connect in my Steam Deck?

I know I can install it using Pacman but for that I need to create a root password and then run some command to install programs on the OS which is immutable, but honestly if all I want is to install KDE Connect I see unnecessary to do all that, isn't there a simpler way?

I already tried with flatpak but there is no KDE-Connect repository in flatpak, and following this Reddit tutorial doesn't really lead to anything since the repository seems to be dead.

Edit: KDE Connect came pre-installed in the Deck.

I feel dumb for not checking that first, thank you!

KDE Connect is already installed on the deck and running by default. Click the little upward carat next to the time in desktop mode.

I don't even remember installing it. Are you sure it's not part of SteamOS/KDE Plasma?

Did you check the Discover store?

Also, Steam Link is another easy option for remote control.
