As long as any old apk can be installed over ADB, f-droid just needs to release a desktop app, and I'm gtg. Yeah, it's a little inconvenient, and hopefully just a stopgap until Linux phones are viable, but still better than Apple.


It means users without a PC won't have this possibility. You will not be able to do squat if you are mobile-only. Maybe not a major change for us here but a dealbreaker for the majority.


Would it be viable to enable wireless ADB and use a browser/app on the same phone to connect to it, and install the APKs that way?


You can do ADB over the network so any device can use it, even from the same phone.
