For people who are die-hard F Droid users, do you get all your apps from it? I have tried in the past but it seemed like even when I restricted my use to basics it was missing things I needed to make my phone feel useful. Wonder if it has gotten better.
I wouldn't use F-Droid exclusively. Many apps can simply be downloaded from their respective webpages. GrapheneOS also has also its own very basic app store.
FDroid offers the guarantee that the apk was built from source, and at least some marginal safety in terms of having passed their security and analytics/ads checkers.
Obtainium makes it easy to download apps directly from their webpages. Many of them have ready configurations you can simply add: <a href="https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/
With F-Droid (at least the main repo) you get extra guarantees that the apk is built by them. A thirdparty store also updates your apps, so you're not stuck at an old outdated version. I do use both F-Droid and Obtainium though.

You lose all that if you go directly to source.
