Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?

Open Source@lemmy.ml – 159 points – 10 months ago

Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no "Editor's Picks" on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here.

What apps do you recommend I install first to remove my dependence on closed ecosystems?

What is my vulnerability surface ie, which sort of apps should I watch out for?

Are there any bad faith companies in the open source sphere?

If your new, just install and use Droidify (is a lot faster than F-droid).

Now I use:

Obtanium 4 things that aren't in F-droid or prefer faster update (like Newpipe).

Isn't FFUpdater redundant when you can just put browsers' repository links in Obtainium?

Your right, now I did remove FFUpdater, I've got Mull updated adding DivestOS Official repo to Droidify (included, but you need to enable), and Cromite from GitHub.

Because Mull from default repo is 1 version and 2 weeks behind.
