F-Droid on LineageOS addresses most of the concerns with Playstore as only talented developers who care about open-source release their apps on it.

Ofcourse, Apps of 3rd party data hoarding, Democracy destroying services wouldn't bother releasing to F-Droid and I'm glad for that.

With microG version of LineageOS the app updates are seamless due to the F-Droid PE patch bundled in the ROM.

Lately I'm finding myself increasingly dependent on F-Droid only apps like Termux and Tusky.

I also have F-Droid and Termux installed, but to say this offers a complete or optimal Android experience is false.

There are many good apps only on Google Play, if you know where to look, usually specifically for the app name or by trawling through a dozen inferior alternatives first.

The chances of the best mist respectful apps being suggested to you instead of the Editor Choice in-app-purchase garbage are zero.

That's if you don't consider having rootkit-like Google play services as a threat vector or don't mind its impact on the Privacy/Battery backup in the first place.
