Comment on New To Android? What Apps to Choose?

What I do is I have droidify (fdroid client) with fdroid, izzyonandroid and few more repos enabled and I browse the list frequently. If I find something cool I might keep it. I try to avoid anything from google play in general.
If I want something specific (apart from searchijg online), I mighr just search the term I want on droidify, install a few apps, try them and keep the one I like.

So there’s a bunch of useful stuff FOSS stuff not on fdroid repo?

Yeah, I think fdroid is more strict about the apps they include and I think they might do some extra tests (hence why fdroid apps have different signature from git repos of the apps).
Please search it yourself, I don’t remember much to help you.
Here’s izzy’s site: apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info
PS. You might see Izzy in various github app repos talking with developers asking to import their apps to the izzy repo

Izzy takes apks directly from devs repos iirc Fdroid builds everything themselves so its kinda like the debian repos on linux
