This is just about everything I have on my phone. I'm on a FairPhone 4 running /e/OS. What's your load out like?
I'm looking for a new keyboard. Glad for suggestions :D
what kind of apps cant be updated through playstore/fdroid?
what are the one you are using?
it's not that they can't be (maybe some apps I use can't) but rather that I don't like some things about F-Droid. One of the big things being unreliable app updates. They are often significantly outdated compared to GitHub releases.
https://www.privacyguides.org/en/android/#f-droid
"Due to their process of building apps, apps in the official F-Droid repository often fall behind on updates. F-Droid maintainers also reuse package IDs while signing apps with their own keys, which is not ideal as it gives the F-Droid team ultimate trust."
This is somewhat outdated, developers can now opt in to reproducable builds using their own keys
