Agreed, but a DEX like environment might be over complicated, instead we can use what already exist; phosh, KDE Plasma or Gnome as the graphical interface. You position yourself as a linux phone, this desktop environment will push it towards the front of the line as a real DIT linux phone.
How could we achieve this? Ask the opensource developer community to help us with the development or partner with existing mobile linux developers (Fosdem Brussels is coming January 31). As a reward opt-in pre-order buyers to become a alpha or beta tester for the desktop software) For people buying after 31/01 you can launch a supporter programs like GOG Patrons (GOG an optional program allowing users to support game preservation and the platform’s growth through monthly contributions, unlocking perks like exclusive discounts and early access to new features.You can read the full announcement here.), 5 euro a month, to be an Jolla Sailor. (Replacing Sailfish Subscribtions) This 5 euro will help you fund your developer support role or team to help guide the project. This income will help to support and assist the community with connecting your proprietary part UX UI sailfish core to this new open source community mobile linux desktop program.
As an incentive offer all pre-order buyers 3 - 6 months of Jolla Insider. For every sale (phone unit) that a Jolla Insider refers offer 1 month of Jolla Insider. I think that is a fair reward and is less then 1 % of your sales price.
