    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.

      When I need some category of app - say a note app or an audiobook player - I generally check F-Droid first.

      If there's a good enough app on there, I generally stick with that as opposed to trying what Google Play has to offer.

      I like having that prefiltering, knowing that the app will be open source, not trying to pull anything shady and not have ads or sell my data. On the Play Store, more often than not, at least one of those is not true.
