I don't know if it the better place to ask my question and if it's not I apologize...

I am a biker and despite my love for FOSS applications, I cannot deny that Waze is very practical (especially for speed camera signaling). I use CalyxOS and there is a feature that makes it easy to use the work profile. On the other hand, I do not know how useful it is to limit my data transmission to Google. Is this really usefull? (I also have TrackerControl, but if I block anything, Waze no longer works)

I use Aurora store to download Play Store apps. And CalyxOS is "degooglised".

But thanks for your answer.

Thanks for your answer... the FairPhone was already on the wishlist, and it's supported. Time to ditch Samsung I guess. (I use Smasung Tablets with Lineage, phone isa Nokia with Lineage as well)

CalyxOS is a tad limited on the hardware support though.
