I transitioned to #GOS recently, it is such a liberating feeling.

I took the additional step of never running Google Services Framework on my ‘owner profile’ and using only apps that are #FOSS or don't require GSF.

I have another profile for the occasions when I need to use such apps requiring GSF. This slight inconvenience is a good way of making me think twice about installing apps and which ones, if I do.

It’s definitely a journey with a fair few workarounds… for instance, I haven't found a good backup solution for data held by apps so I have installed Protonmail’s Drive which auto sync’s photos to the cloud.

Tell me about it, it's a super satisfying and liberating feeling having switched to GOS.

I only had a Google Play Store and Services installed for a day to install some apps which I needed on my work profile. But since them I uninstalled it and get all my apps from the Aurora Store.
