F-Droid has been giving me some issues for a few days (that I’ve noticed). It crashes immediately upon opening. Sometimes I will see it open for less than one second before it crashes, but usually it just goes right to a crash submittal screen. I want to reinstall it, but am unsure how to handle all my apps. Will it just pick them back up? I don’t really know how to troubleshoot this, I am open to alternative paths!

    Thanks! That has gotten the ball rolling. Perhaps config related. This must have been going on for a while, I have many app updates pending now… This particular device is old, maybe part of the issue.

      There is also the F-Droid Basic app which is totally sufficient for the “normal” user. They can be installed parallelly.

        I wouldn’t call myself advanced, but I am installing an alternative OS on a replacement device, so I felt motivated to ask for direction. This is exactly what I would like to know I have as an option, thanks!
