I'm not sure about Obtanium being recommended. |
Completed the Obtainium installation guide
The primary question is whether to recommend automated installation/upgrade methods like F-Droid or Obtainium over manual ones. I believe we should. If others agree, then Obtainium should be the recommended option, as the F-Droid release is still incomplete. I encourage anyone interested in forming their own opinion to try Obtainium from F-Droid firsthand. It’s become one of the most popular Android apps for download automation in recent years—for example, it ranks among the top apps in the GitHub Store—for good reason. It’s also worth noting that Obtainium is Android TV–friendly, making it suitable for use across all Android devices, and it is downloading the apks from the buildbot archive which also is used for manual downloads. |

Moved “Installation via Obtainium” section below “Manual Downloads” and removed “(recommended)” from its heading.
I’ve moved the “Installation via Obtainium” section below “Manual Downloads” and removed “(recommended)” from its heading, so this PR should now be ready for approval. |
