Well, to be fair, you are using the Chromebook in a way it was not intended to be.

Also, the only copy of the SteamOS that is currently available for install on devices other than the Deck is not the one on the Deck. It's an older, discontinued version. SteamOS 3 hasn't been released for open use yet.

That might be preventing your ability to use the flash drive as a storage library.
