From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.yes vanilla os 2.0 is huge and it's now on debian
Now add Obtainium
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?
