I use a Xiaomi phone, it has this annoying "Security" app that gets everytime I'm installing or updating an app to pass a "security scan" and show me an add. F-Droid downloads updates on start, but then I just get this message "App update is ready to install" and then I have to manually install each update.

Any idea on how to bypass this app? I have partially debloated my phone using some ADB debloater but I'm worried my OS will break if I remove this "Security" app.

Also don't know if I'll also need to keep installing each update individually even after deleting it.

I also noticed that I haven't given permissions for "modifying system settings" to F-Droid.

Don't get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I'm working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end up feeling very limited. There's always software I can't use properly (and not just Windows stuff), some stuff badly configured with weird error messages... last time I was not able to even use the apt command. Sometimes I lack time and energy for troubleshooting and sometimes I just fail at it.

I usually end up in need of redoing a fresh install until it breaks up again. Maybe Linux is not good for beginners working full time? Maybe we should do something like that Cisco course that teaches you the basic commands?
