F-Droid: Android FOSS app store
I like this app for interfacing with fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.machiav3lli.fdroid/
I also like this CLI for bulk downloading apks for initializing a new device over adb: https://github.com/mvdan/fdroidcl
To get releases faster there is obtanium: https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

F-Droid – alternative to Google Play store
I've been trying to automate my smartphone configuration and backup lately.
I use a lot of apps from F-droid, and was pleased to discover fdroidcl: https://github.com/mvdan/fdroidcl
I now have a script that installs most of my daily drivers from it, given ADB and developer mode active on the phone.

How to install a list of apps using fdroid by adb, or using Termux or an script
I mean, if you have the APKs, this should be pretty simple. Pretty sure you can make a custom repo for FDroid and do it that way, though I have not actually done it before. Have read up on it in the past though and should be not too complicated even with non F-Droid apks. Per glavinstone's answer you could take this a step farther and script the install with fdroidcl.

microG itself connects directly to Google: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Google-Network-Connec...
No shit, of course they do.
>In general, we obviously try to minimize the connections to Google, but some services strictly rely on them and would just not work without.
What exactly do you think they should do instead?
