      The nag screen is important for a bunch of less technically literate people who would otherwise install malware without thinking twice.

      Or even once.

        I really don’t know how to feel about it

        The people it’s intended to protect will just click “yes” to anything in my experience

        I don’t have a statistical analysis of results over a normal distribution of the world population, though

          I feel like Epic wouldn’t be so strident about it without proof that it negatively affecting install rate.

          But maybe the perception that it affects the rate is sufficient.

            I think it affects install rate by design, which is bad for Epic in this case but good for security in most

      I just tested it by updating something and it didn’t work, so I would say no, we don’t have background updates on F-Droid.
