Hello,

Im in the route of degoogling my life, just recently installed GraphaneOs. Where do you guys download apks? I need Synology apks like Synology Photos. I dont see if it is published on official website.

How you deal with that? How to avoid downloading malware by mistake?

True, app installations don't happen very often for me either, but I don't see the harm in keeping Aurora around for it.

Regarding critically typically apps do warn you when it's the case, including financial apps. Usually if it's truly critical they'll stop working until you do update.

Typically these notifications are there to let you know that your app is terribly outdated and about to run into a breaking change (incompatibility between app and web-backend), not for security issues. I think it's very ill-advised to wait for something like that to happen, but you do you.
