    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?
