    Yes they are! That’s what I’m saying. 99% of apps aren’t coming from the AUR. Why don’t we call it sideloading, if it were actually a term that were needed?

      I don’t understand what you’re saying. The point is not that 99% of apps aren’t coming from anywhere, it’s that they are coming from somewhere…

        Same thing. 99% of apps are coming from official repositories. A tiny fraction are coming from non-official sources, like the AUR. It should be called sideloading if the term actually had a technical need. Obviously your reasoning that we need the term is wrong. No one feels the need for it on desktop. What’s different about mobile?
