There is a few more approaches to solving this, with different drawbacks: - Nix, Guix, package managers in general: suitable for advanced users, but smooth sailing is not guaranteed, especially with Nix/Guix on top of an arbitrary syst

I've observed it on Samsung, Galaxy A8; sounds like it varies from model to model then. And it didn't complain about F-Droid in particular, just its setup routine involves configuration of Google Play (signing in with Google).

It did not: actually it'd keep asking to "complete setting up" without F-Droid installed too, just as long as Google Play is not configured.
