Everyone should be degoogling their devices before malware gets installed by an update. Get rid of windows while you're at it. This may take time, so start now.

Running Linux since 2019. ;)

Getting rid of gapps on my phone will take some more tinkering, since certain apps that required to get by in my society rely on Play Services. But I'm getting there!
