I run LineageOS with zero Google services (no microG either - no need for it) as my daily phone, and have been for several years now across a series of devices (currently, a Moto z3 Play and an Essential PH-1). I prefer to use FOSS apps where I can, and as such, most of my installed apps come from F-Droid. When I do need something from the Play Store, I simply use the Aurora Store to grab those applications (which are really just Paypal and Slack for work). Potential issues you might run into are some apps like banking and such not functioning thanks to SafetyNet. For banking, I just use the browser anyway, have never had the need to use my local bank's mobile app. It really depends all on your needs, but you will find that using a de-Googled device is very doable as a daily driver, and I have been doing it for a number of years now - I can't tell you when the last time I signed into a "Googled" Android device was. I also have a few PinePhones (my first testing grounds for Sailfish, interestingly enough) and am a huge proponent of Linux phones. I throw my SIM in my Pinephone sometimes and use it often for testing development stuff. For daily driving, however, my de-Googled devices are still what I reach for the most. |
