Ok, I know what happened. Because of Wikipedia’s new layout, I saw “two USB 2.0 ports” but missed the part where it stated that those were included on the docking bar.

On a side note, I have seen people take a raspberry PI and use a case with a touch screen and a battery so they can use it as a phone.

Ok, I was confused because OP said USB “sticks”. I knew that Linux phones have standard USB ports so I thought that maybe modern android phones had them too.

Do modern android phones have standard USB ports or can you just use USB storage devices through the charging port with an adapter?

Yeah, that’s why I said that Obtainium was “the closest thing to an alternative for F-Droid”. If F-Droid goes down because of the current state of things, it would impact all of the other clients and repos. Meaning that Obtainium, while it does work completely differently and it’s not perfect, would be the closest thing to an alternative for F-Droid until someone else makes a real F-Droid alternative. Once again, I will state that I could be wrong, I don’t have perfect knowledge of the internet and therefor, wouldn’t know if someone has already made a more direct alternative to F-Droid that no one has probably even heard of.

So that would mean that, unless I’m wrong, the closest thing to an alternative for F-Droid that currently exists would be Obtainium. Obtainium is the only other android app that I’m aware of that can install/update apps directly from sources like GitHub.

How do other repositories handle this? Do they just use F-Droid to process the apps and then just add the F-Droid version of that app to their repository, or is there another method they use?

F-Droid alternative clients and repositories exist, so as far as I’m aware this shouldn’t really be that big of a problem.
