installing trough package manager has been the default on Linux for what, 20 years now? it was called installing from sources instead of side loading, but it wasn't the default, and it's something you can do anyway in both iPhone and Android and it takes more or less the same effort and knowledge. the outliers were dos and Windows, and even then it caused loads of issues so much they had y to add multiple layers of checks between signatures, uac, blacklists and defenders because average users cannot be trusted to manage their own systems

- GordonS 7y agoWith Linux package managers, you can easily add additional repos. And of course on Windows, Linux and MacOS, you can install whatever you like, from wherever you like. Android allows you to side-load apps (but I'd prefer if it made it much easier to do so), whereas iOS makes it both difficult and costly.
- mrep 7y ago> it was called installing from sources instead of side loading, but it wasn't the default, and it's something you can do anyway in both iPhone and Android and it takes more or less the same effort and knowledge. Really, can you please explain how to install apps on an Iphone direct from the source for free permanently?
