great write up! bookmarked

thanks for this and rad that you linked back to the prior thread with all the tips ✌

one thing with installing apps i found helpful and just want to write here in case it helps anyone else: there's the aurora store if really need to use Play Store for an app.

well the search function in aurora store is borked, it took me some time to realise the way to do it is set it as default to open play links (via Settings) and then search for the app in duckduckgo then click and voilà it opens in aurora

maybe thats dumb, but didn't see it on any of the intro vids I watched, and i couldnt work out how people were able to use it!

just a little thing that helped make it make sense.
