So if I get a Firestick, I can connect it to a machine running Linux and sideload apps like that? (Sorry if it's a dumb question, I've never used a Firestick but I've been contemplating ways to mirror content from a Linux PC to my smart TV)
No, you turn off apps from unknown sources, then you download Downloader. You can then use Downloader to download apps from any internet url. You can do this all from the Firestick’s home screen.
Here is a sample tutorial:

Thanks, I will look into it. I appreciate the link. Cheers!
