elementary OS improves sideloading experience |
|
The elementary OS developers have been making tweaks and polishing their distribution based on user feedback. One of the key features being adjusted is how the distribution handles installing third-party applications. "Since sideloading is an expected and important part of installing apps on elementary OS, we've made a couple of changes to help you stay informed and be in control. Instead of describing sideloaded apps as 'Untrusted', we've updated interface copy to instead ask for your trust. Additionally, we now show some basic feedback about the kinds of broad system permissions that a sideloaded app may request. This will likely get more fine-grained in the future, but for now we can warn about apps that request advanced permissions and let you know when an app is more tightly sandboxed." Additional changes are outlined in the project's monthly newsletter. |
