Welcome to the fold! Just a heads up, GOS doesn’t recommend the F-droid app as apparently there’s some security concerns. SideOfBurritos on YouTube talks more about it. An app like Droidify or Neo Store would be better and still uses the same F-Droid repositories. I use and really like Obtanium which allows you to download and manage apps directly from their websites, GitHub, F-Droid, & more.

Seconded on Obtainium. Basically any FOSS app is gonna have a repo there with releases regardless, and you can always just use an f-droid repository if they only publish releases there. Plus, way easier to export a list of installed apps to restore them at a later date!

Yep! It’s not the same experience as F-Droid (e.g. it’s not gonna be you scrolling through a list of apps, picking the one you want, and hitting install. Obtainium is more of a “get the URL to where the app’s releases are, paste it in here, add it, then hit install, plus you might have to do a little config so it selects the right release if there are multiple”, but once it’s set up, it’s set up. I fully replaced the F-Droid app with Obtainium for actually installing and updating apps, but I still keep the F-Droid app around just because I can go on there, search up apps, do a little browsing, then take the app I want and put it in Obtainium.
