... Installed Graphene OS and deleted my Google account. May not seem like a big deal to some, but it was a project long in the making. Decoupling from cloud services / apps that are dependant on GAPPS is surprisingly difficult. It felt really good to delete my account in the end.

Setup a nextcloud instance for photo/document backups. It works very well once you set it up.

If you don't have a lot of photos or videos, Stingle photos is also a great open sourced alternative to google photos. The paid plan is also pretty affordable. I personally just have a 64GB USB for everything, but there is still some benefit to having something in the cloud.

I personally just sync everything to my lappy now. Not as great as something that's always on, but it works.

IMO it's pretty hard to get into.

Either you gotta get into docker

Either you gotta setup a full lamp stack.

It's a rich experience either way but it's not painless !
