We better fork the hell out of Android & create another AppStore but with MicroG

As in we need to legitimize it via adopting payments & telling devs to put their apps here first (& possibly Federate these appstores)

i got the aurora store, after i heard about the android coree app that would appear.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Is there anything that could make the installation routine in Aurora more stable?

When there are updates for apps, I sometimes need to download them two or three times and the download or the installation afterwards doesn't run through properly. It's aborted too often. So updating several apps takes several attempts and a lot of time.

Anyone else got this problem with Aurora?
