Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no “Editor’s Picks” on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here.

What apps do you recommend I install first to remove my dependence on closed ecosystems?

What is my vulnerability surface ie, which sort of apps should I watch out for?

Are there any bad faith companies in the open source sphere?

    have installed F-Droid

    You should check out Droid-ify! It’s a much more friendlier alternative to F-Droid, and also has more applications by default (gets some apps directly from Github).

    Some of my favorite apps:

    • mpv (Lightweight media player, better than VLC)
    • NewPipe (ad-free YouTube / Peertube client)
    • Open Camera (Camera app)
    • SD Maid SE (Junk file/cache cleaner)
    • Unexpected Keyboard
    • WiFiAnalyzer (WiFi scanner, troubleshooter)
