So I am trying to get into these OSes like Graphene, Callyx, e OS…etc. If need be, I will try to de Google the phone too. Anyway, I understand that you can install apps using stores like Amazo, Fdroid, Acrescent, Aurora…etc, instead of relying on Google Play Store.
If an app I need relies on Play Store, then so be it; I think OS like Graphene allows you to run a profile with Google Play stuff?
Otherwise, I can just use apps from Fdroid, Aurora…etc. Say I have Firefox installed from Fdroid and it requires a serious security update, which store will get the update first: the Play Store or they come at the same time even to Fdroid?
Or I am a dev and I need to send an update for my app, where do I send it first?
What do they mean by “reproducible builds” then? https://f-droid.org/en/2025/05/21/making-reproducible-builds-visible.html
Sounds a lot like reproducible builds to me…
You can also see this in practice in their regular blog posts like recently:
