First off, you wanna grab a good quality microSD card 'cause you'll need the extra space. Download the Batocera image specifically for the Steam Deck from their official website. Use a program like BalenaEtcher to flash the image onto your microSD card. Once that's done, just pop the microSD card into your Steam Deck, boot it up, and you should see the Batocera boot menu. From there, follow the on-screen instructions to finish setting it up. Super easy and it won't mess with your SteamOS, so you can switch between gaming worlds whenever you feel like it.
Honestly, why bother? Steam Deck's all about that Steam library. But hey, if you're set on it, the microSD route is pretty straightforward. Just make sure you're not overwriting your SteamOS.
