No one even has one yet. We already talking about sideloading apps?

Developers have obviously had the Steam Frame for a while. Of course they want ways to make it easier to sideload things, and consumers will also want that soon enough.

Do you even need an app to sideload stuff in steamOS? Googling how people do it for the steamdeck it seems like they don’t for the most part. Maybe I’m drastically misunderstanding how the frame woks.

Similar software exists for the Deck. It’s not a requirement for installing linux applications but it does make it easier to add links to the steam big picture interface and manage the cover art. The Frame also has the added complexity of supporting android APKs.

Just call it what it is: installing apps. It’s not “sideloading”. Installing apps on a device you own is normal, being locked out of installing apps on a device you own is abnormal.
