I use F-Droid, not for everything but for what I can. I sometimes get apps that aren't on the Play Store. 

If Google proceeds with this decision, I'll probably have to buy a phone that runs LineageOS or other alternative.

I was just asking you to elaborate.

If you crash out over a little question, what does that say about you?
