If I remember correctly F-Droid supports reproducible builds, but it's a matter of the app developer supporting them. So there is light at the end of the tunnel, we're just not there yet.
Last I checked, when you try to install from another source it just pops up a message saying this is not currently allowed due to this setting, with a button to take you to the setting. Literally two taps and you are able to install from other sources.
I think we've reached a point technologically that it's entirely within our grasp to secure the base layer of Maslow's hierarchy of needs for everyone. Air, water, food, shelter, clothing, medical care.
Awesome, thanks for the info!! I'm looking forward to building a new box in the near future, so hopefully the AMD side of things will have been sorted out by then. Much appreciated!
Side note: Jerboa is showing 3 comments, yet yours is the only one I'm seeing. Weird.
