It also doesn't come preinstalled on any devices I'm aware of, which adds a significant amount of friction. Even once you've installed it, it can't auto-update

Even once you've installed it, it can't auto-update apps.
- jraph 8y agoYes it can, though it needs to be installed as a privileged app.
- beatgammit 8y agoSo? Netflix didn't come preinstalled on my phone, but I still use it. Installing F-Droid is easy, and installing and managing apps through it is also easy. I prefer it when I can find a suitable app.
- anowlcalledjosh 8y ago> Installing F-Droid is easy but nevertheless harder than installing Netflix > installing and managing apps through it is also easy but updates are not automatic (unless you root) I don't dispute that F-Droid is not terribly difficult to use, but the original statement that "It's easier to use than the Play Store" is obviously false as soon as you take into account the mechanics of getting it installed.
