I mean, that’s de-Googled Android, which is in significant part what F-Droid is aimed at. Surely F-Droid works on that, and both OpenCalc and maxima are on that.
In March 2022, writing for How-To Geek Joe Fedewa said that Google apps were not included due to concerns over privacy, and GrapheneOS also did not include a default app store. Instead, Fedewa suggested, F-Droid could be used.[5]
I kind of figured that everyone using the de-Googled Android things was using F-Droid.
What part of it? The app itself? There are alternative clients. The protocol? It’s made for people to host app repos, not to ensure everything hosted in an F-Droid compatible repo is safe. The fact that reproducible builds arenct enforced? There’s always a gap where you’re trusting a third party unless you’re building everything from source yourself.
It’s the android equivalent of a package manager.
F-Droid is like any other place you get apps and programs to run on one of your devices: caveat emptor. At least all packages are open source so you can review yourself.
This is as absurd as saying you don’t use linux because someone could typosquat a fake repo or app through the package manager.
I have an open-source calculator app, OpenCalc, off F-Droid on Android for light stuff.
I use maxima on Android and Linux for heavyweight stuff.
I mean, if you want it, it’s there.
Thanks for your recommendation man but I’m using GrapheneOS

Yeah:

EDIT: Didn’t link to the F-Droid maxima page.
I don’t use F-Droid it has many security flaws
You could also just download the apk from their github
Source: trust me bro
That’s the problem with Graphene OS. The culture spreads misinformation.
Aight, fair enough, if you don’t consider the software on there hardened enough.
What do u use then? Surly u don’t compile every apk from source?
What if I compile from source?
How do u have time for anything else?

OK but I rather not use, my device, my rules
