From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

€0.00—Aurora Store. Breaks rule 4. €0.00—F-Droid. Breaks rule 4.
Rule 4: No association with or reference to crypto“currencies” because these are greed incentivizing pyramid schemes.
They... They are app stores. ~~Aurora is just a reskin of fdroid, they use the same repos~~ What's the association, the fact that they let you install apps related to it? Bruh.
Aurora isn't a reskinned F-Droid and neiter does it use the same repositories. It's a client for the Google Play Store, but one that doesn't require an account or Google Services. And that's not what F-Droid is.
To clarify , there is an aurora client for f-droid. https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/auroradroid
The OP mentions aurora store by name so they are probably not talking about the f-droid wrapper. Also if f-droid breaks rule 4 AuroraDroid almost certainly does.
It's dead
Yeah, my bad, I confused it with aurora droid. In any case, I still don't get why they break rule 4.
