How can I run apps without Play Store (self.degoogle)

For my degoogled android, I am uninstalling bloatwares using adb. Now, I even decided to remove Play Store and use Aurora Store and Obtainium; but haven't touched Google Play Service.

Everything was running smoothly till I recently installed ChatGPT Android; but the app is not even starting, and shows the message you need Play Store or Update it.

Is their any way around for it.

I am considering microG but not aware how those tech work; also no intention for rooting my phone

Thanks, for the app. I had used Island for a while, but didn't thought this way.

I'm playing for while but sorry I was not able to find multiple island feature which you were talking about; I wanted to ask here first before searching myself.

Also what does FLOSS mean?

My bad, it must have been another one that I could make multiple profiles with, you are right, I don't see that on my Insular install currently.

FLOSS is Free Libre Open Source Software. IMO, the only software you can rely on having any control over has to be opensource. Nothing else is worth investing time into, because it'll eventually enshittify.
