From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Remove the store app and replace it with a daemon which does the updates in background.
If it's a pure Linux phone then apps would be installed through the command line and could be easily auto updated via a script.
So if you don't install a terminal emulator on the phone itself and only access the command line through something like SSH. You wouldn't have to worry about an app store at all ideally?
