    I realize I’m not entirely free yet, but I sleep better ever since I changed to a non-Google Android ROM. Also because the path to proper mobile Linux feels shorter now.

    Anyone still on Google Android: Look into making the change. It’s worth it.

    And if not, at least start getting your apps from F-droid whenever possible.

      Yep, switching as many apps as you can to foss apps, and moving to non Gmail based email services will make future switching way easier.

      I’d love to make the switch. I was looking into custom roms for my S24U and finally decided I’m okay with tripping Knox, so I’d give it a go… Nope! Samsung has removed the ability to unlock the bootloader in OneUI 8, with no path to downgrade. So I’m stuck with an excellent piece of hardware, running software that collects and sells my data.

      Does “play integrity” work on non Google android? I’m rooted and system wide adblocking, but I still use things like streaming apps.

        MicroG makes most things work, so it’s not much compromise in my experience. :)

        I use /e/OS which has access to apps from the Play Store, so that I still have my banking apps and stuff. I think streaming apps should work just fine.
