That’s it. Would you recommended any other repository?

    I keep it simple so I can confidently download the apps.

    I can’t keep track of which repos are safe, and we’ve seen posts on here from people getting sketchy apps from a repo they added.

    I’m sure there are other safe repos, and I’m willing to add one if people recommend an app that requires it, but I’ll probably remove it afterwards.

      This is a good approach. I would not even use Izzy’s repo shown by OP (at least not on a daily driver device - great for testing newer apps I’m sure) because I don’t see it as advantageous to get updates so quickly or access to apps that are not yet (or will never be) fully open source.

      Basically I see most of the value of F-Droid in their build server and official repo. So I only add repos with a very short list of apps, like microg and KDE.

      I can always install the odd apk manually, or use Aurora store (preferably in the work profile)

        Yeah. F-droid’s defaults for me have always worked well, and if I want a specific app to be up to date, I’ll download it right from the devs (Shattered Pixel)
