Hi. I have just become aware of F-Droid. Is this something I should be looking into or downloading? What are the cons to doing so? Is it bad/dangerous in any way?

My MO is that when I need an app to do something I look for a good FOSS app via F-Droid first. There’s a great list of open source android software here.
Some apps in FDroid require root. If you have rooted your phone be careful about those. I haven’t heard of any security issues but as a Linux user of 25+ years I’m paranoid about ever giving apps root access.
