Fire TV Stick HD blocks sideloading
Vega OS is based on Linux and the Fire TV Stick HD only lets you download apps from the Amazon Appstore, so sideloading apps from other sources is out.
The latest Fire TV Stick HD also blocks installing anything from unknown sources, aiming for better security but fewer app choices.
Plus, starting May 20, 2026, older Kindle devices (from 2012 or before) will lose some Kindle Store features.
