Aurora store and F-droid will be your besties, you don’t need play store unless you have purchased something.
Is it really a massive inconvenience? I would hardly even call it a minor inconvenience. I get a notification maybe twice per week that there are updates pending, and I just accept them in bulk. Your life must be absolutely perfect and ridiculously easy if that simple infrequent action can be classified as a massive inconvenience.
There are much more annoying things when de-googling and using graphene OS than this IMO. This hardly even registers as annoying. Not being able to use my government 2FA app or NFC payments, now that is massive inconvenience.
To me I love to have control over what I update, I agree with it not being inconvenient. For other it might so it's not really necessary to be mean about it!
Okay, smuglord. It's a massive inconvenience compared to doing literally nothing. And it heavily depends on what apps you use and how often they update.
