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.

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 feel dumb for not checking that first, thank you!

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.
