    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.

        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 A thirdparty store also updates your apps, so you're not stuck at an old outdated version.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.
