There was once a time where I thought living with apps from only F-Droid was impossible.

Now, F-Droid is my only app store, and I only use Aurora Store for banking apps (and even then, I prefer to do banking on desktop).

I recently switched to a phone with only microG installed, absolutely 0 Google services.

It works insanely well nowadays.

I don’t think it’s possible to get rid of everything in the stock ROM.

I usually install LineageOS on all my phones but I’m on /e/OS right now because Lineage is not available yet.

This is exactly what I am doing.
I am very grateful to the foss community that this is possible.

Just started doing exactly this recently. Aurora fills the gaps for the stuff that I need without the play store.

I got late to the party, I still use the Google Play Store, but I find some neat apps with Fdroid from time to time, and I was like “hey this isn’t that bad” I feel weird to have spend so much time looking for individual APK files ngl.
