Don't go with fdroid. Go with Obtainium. You can download apps directly from Github and it updates automatically. Smaller attack surface and it's one less hoop to jump through.

Why smaller attack surface? Bigger attack surface. For an attacker is way easier to hack a single developer and publish a malicious APK on their GitHub (or alternative) rather than hosting malware on the official fdroid repository.

The first just requires a phishing email (trojanize a random Dev with poor opsec, get his apk signing key and his browser cookies) while the second is way more complex (get full access to fdroid build servers)
