This is huge! Just integrating F-Droid into their mix package manager is really badass.
Because the only good way to autoupdate the Android apps is from the PC host using
waydroid app install. But F-Droids release images are totally random and also not as secure as using the API. Having repo support is waaay better.gonzoknowsdotcom1@monero.town · 14 pts · 2y

When F-Droid builds direct from repo, signs and downloads to your phone, is it really that different from pulling the APK directly from the original repo?

But they need that because they are not the source, right? I feel like I'm missing something. Developer makes app on say, GitHub, how is going through F-Droid more trustworthy than the source?

Oh I follow now. Interesting. Perhaps this will become a PR if I ever have time.

Does it also follow the rule to not allow closed source API? (Notification,Location,..)

No, it gives the user the choice to pull whichever versions they want.

Isnt that just a semi working feedreader for Github and other sources?

I was curious about vanilla os but nows it's gonna be based on Debian and everything else I'm hears I kinda wanna switch to it for at least a month

Currently, been using it for the past year for work & school studies. Haven't had any big issues and far less when I used windows. Waiting for the Alpha to go to beta

Will they update GNOME like Ubuntu or will they wait for Debian to do it?
Secret300@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
In the road map they said they have gnome 44 for vanilla os 2.0

Damn, it would be impressive if they accomplish that
