No rooting (or jailbreaking) pr verboten-hacks required.
Just put the phone into developer mode. In theory any user can do this
with a few clicks.
Then you can install anything that will run.
However this route does imply that the user has some idea of what they
are doing, just a a user installing on a Linux desktop will need some
idea as well. It might not be a route for a stereotypical grandma.
Apologies in a advance to all the
non-stereotypical-Linux-savvy-Jolla-wielding-grandmas who are part of
this mailing list.

Zitat von "Network Nut" <sillyst...@gmail.com>:
Hi All,
I have what I imagine to be a very common problem:
1. There will be billions of people who own smartphones.
2. I have a 100% native Linux C++ app that I would like a few of those
billions of people to use. These are my future customers.
3. I do not necessarily want to use an app store of any kind, if I
choose not to use any.
4. I would like for my customers to decide, at their own discretion,
whether to side-load my native app onto their smartphone by going to my web
site, and not an app store.
5. I would like to avoid having my customers call my tech-support line
and listen on the phone for 30 minutes as one of my tech-support
representatives tells him/her how to root their phone so that they can
side-load my app.
In other words, I would like the same situation that exists now under the
desktop model, where anyone who owns a desktop computer has full discretion
of what they do with their computer, without (significant) restrictions from
the OS vendor.
I understand that Jolla allows 100% true native C++ apps, but I was unable
to determine, with a quick search on the WWW, whether Jolla allows 100%
native C++ apps under the acquisition model above.
Can anyone clarify? Is it true that the owner of a Jolla smartphone will be
able to determine for himself/herself whether to side-load a third-party
native application without jumping through hoops to bypass restrictions
created by the OS?
Regards,
-Nut
