I has come to my attention that some users have never heard of F-droid. F-droid is a free software app store for android (f-droid.org)

I can't use F-Droid without the Play Store but I tend to check there first to see if there is something available there before installing something from the Play Store.

You should check out aurora store on f-droid if you haven't already, its basically an alternative front end for the play store, which means you can remove your google account from your phone (if you want to)
