So I am trying to get into these OSes like Graphene, Callyx, e OS…etc. If need be, I will try to de Google the phone too. Anyway, I understand that you can install apps using stores like Amazo, Fdroid, Acrescent, Aurora…etc, instead of relying on Google Play Store.

If an app I need relies on Play Store, then so be it; I think OS like Graphene allows you to run a profile with Google Play stuff?

Otherwise, I can just use apps from Fdroid, Aurora…etc. Say I have Firefox installed from Fdroid and it requires a serious security update, which store will get the update first: the Play Store or they come at the same time even to Fdroid?

Or I am a dev and I need to send an update for my app, where do I send it first?

    F-droid doesn’t just check for reproducibility, they build and sign apps themselves. They don’t take apks from devs, only source code (this also means that F-Droid apks are not compatible with play store apks and can’t be mutually updated die to different signatures. I.e. you can’t install app from play store or directly from dev and update it from f-droid, and vice versa).
