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.
Developer mode is not for everybody, that is clear. And the other
suggested methods w/o developer mode will not work out of the box much
longer as stressed out already earlier:

As stressed out in the same mail, we work on it to make it possible to
side load rpm's, if the user sets up the device to allow untrusted
sources (or how ever we are gonna call that setting).

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
