I'm really starting to *like* this F-Droid repo.

1. The software is KISS!
2. They don't ask for unnecessary permissions!

For example, I found a KISS camera and a KISS flashlight and a KISS video
editor, etc.

Two problems I had, both of which were probably of my own making, were:
a. App Backup & Restore didn't autoarchive
b. Fdroid wouldn't at first download anything

I'm not quite sure how I fixed the first problem that Backup and Restore
didn't automatically archive the APK, but I changed a few settings in App
Backup & Restore, and now it's automatically backing up the F-Droid apps I
install. 

The second problem was that F-Droid didn't download *anything* but then I
realized I had turned on the option to always use Tor, but I didn't know I
had to actually have Tor running (it apparently won't start Tor on its
own).

So I turned that off and F-droid worked immediately thereafter.
(My mistake for changing the defaults.)

The third thing I did was turn on all the repos:
F-Droid
F-Droid Archive
Guardian Project Official Releases
Guardian Project Archives

Overall, F-Droid & Guardian Project are nice archives.
They're nothing like Google Play in that they're not flashy.
But their apps are KISS functional, and don't ask for unneeded permissions.

If anyone knows of another nice open-source archive, let us know.
