Hey ScoffingLizard
Depending on your phone model you can install a custom rom, it is much easier than messing around with disabling google services.
No need to root your phone. I have bricked many phones because I went the root route.
here are the device lists ands install guides
if you dont want to use any google services use lineage

If you want to still keep some google apps use E/os. It uses MicroG.

For installing on Samsung phones I use:
Heimdall-grimler-git
