  • gnome on postmarketOS works well on my pinetab. There’s been a lot of improvements for gnome mobile in the past year. I’m not sure about getting postmarketOS on your device. There might be something or you could try Alpine. Maybe any other distro with gnome, but i think pmOS has specific packages with the latest improvements for gnome mobile.




  • I was degoogled until late last year. Then 2 things happened. 1, I got a Fitbit watch, and 2, I started a delivery gig job where I needed play store and google services. Fortunately I might be getting another job soon (got a conditional job offer yesterday) and quitting the delivery since I’m making less money now. Also, looking at getting a different watch. When these things happen, I’ll probably reinstall LineageOS without play services and delete the fitbit account (which is soon going to require switching to a google account.)

    I have hosted email and nextcloud that I use for storage, calendar, etc. I’ve lived without google before with no inconvenience and I can do it again.



  • I use nextcloud for calendar (among other things). I made an account for my wife on the nextcloud and we share a “Family” calendar on there. It’s also possible to share publicly with anybody, but they can’t create or edit without an account. Of course, it’s more work to set up. There are also alternatives like zoho, etc which might be easier to get started with, but I haven’t really tried any of them in years. I don’t know how many people you share with, but if it’s not too many, there might be options. I don’t have to host my own nextcloud. I have mail service with my personal domain through mxroute.com and it includes Nextcloud.
