Google collects a lot of personal data and I don't like it. I disabled every Google app and service that was possible without changing OS or rooting the phone. Then I realized that few apps, that are important to me, did not work correctly without Google Services. So unfortunately I had to re-enable it. I'm using VPN though. Hopefully that messes at least a little bit Google's data collecting.
On PC Linux is nowadays my main OS but I have Windows 11 installed too (dual boot). There's still quite many compatibility problems with Linux.
