The F-Droid auto updating feature does not require signature spoofing, just the F-Droid Privileged Extension (which can be installed on every ROM with custom recovery).

Ah right, I am a little fuzzy on the details it seems.

First time I heard about microG. I don't get it -- why is it called "LineageOS for microG" and not "microG for LineageOS"? Am I missing something? Isn't microG something that runs on top of LineageOS and not the other way around?

microG needs signature spoofing to work. LineageOS devs have refused to allow signature spoofing under any circumstances. So microG needs a fork of LineageOS.

Windows Subsystem for Linux all over again.

It is because microG isn't an app but a system component of the operating system. It gets baked in when building the system.

So what is microG baked into? AOSP?

>LineageOS unofficial fork with built-in microG gapps implementation

So it's LineageOS for microG for (LineageOS unofficial fork)?

As in an official rectification of the unofficial fork with microG in the middle?

(confused)

It's simply a fork of LineageOS designed to run microG out of the box, the builds are there for ease of use. microG is still a separate project from LineageOS. They are "LineageOS [builds meant] for [use with] microG".

I don't understand the name either, but I am glad the project exists.
