Not to go off topic from your main point, but what did you move to?

I'm not the one you responded to, but did something similar and feel like sharing:

- Desktop: Manjaro Gnome, for that amazing macOS-like desktop. It even does the 3 finger swipe up to see all your apps with Apple's Touchpad.

- Phone: OnePlus 8T with microG variant of LineageOS (alternatives: Pixel line-up), because that allows me to still receive push notifications. I have over 40 apps and only found 1 that didn't work so far (which is Uber Eats, because they seem to require Google Advertisement ID). I pushed a modified Google Camera app to it, so my camera is better supported. I think only 3 out of 4 cameras are working, but I don't care.

- Watch: Amazfit GTR 2e with the official app. Alternatively it should work with Gadgetbridge if you don't want to use the offical app ("Zepp"). Amazfit GTR 2 is a better option if you want it to have WiFi and want to store music on it.

Thanks for sharing. Time to start compiling these lists.

Linux, dumbphone, DSLR. This was the final straw on a planned exit to be honest.

That's interesting, I may just do the same thing as well - the camera is the largest thing of why I want to be on an phone.

I may just go LineageOS.

If you have a Pixel, or are willing to buy one, CalyxOS [1] may be worth a look. It's a privacy-focused ROM that still integrates microG, so it's compatible with most apps (unlike the other popular privacy-focused ROM GrapheneOS [2] which doesn't support microG).

The big advantage to CalyxOS or GrapheneOS versus Lineage is they support re-locking the bootloader, which means that verified boot still works - important if your phone gets swiped.

Many apps are also compatible with GrapheneOS and installing https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-play-services provides broader app compatibility.

Thank you for the info, I will go buy and experiment about this.
