You mean installing? How Google is going to handle restricting us from installing apps on our phone? Thats what it is. Sideloading doesn't fucking exist.

    Stop complaining, just use a different mobile OS.

    Thank you. I gave that community a subscribe because I want to use a Linux phone at some point in the future.

    The big thing I have to make sure of is accessibility as I am a low vision user who requires the use of screen magnification at the very minimum and a screen reader is preferred for text such as articles and websites.

    A Linux phone won't help with the problem side loading stopping problem.

    Last time I used side loading was on a driving trip in Italy, I wanted the ZTA app so I could see where I wasn't able to drive and plan routes that avoided ZTAs. A Linux phone wouldn't have helped as no one would publish such an app for Linux unless the user population was in the tens of percentage

    ZTAs are the no cars allowed areas, usually the middle of towns
