@justincroser@social.linux.pizza I think what I get is more freedom and independence from Google, at the price of less convenience.
"Degoogled" Android variants give you something more convenient, more apps available and so on. But then you still kind of play by Google's rules which I don't like.
For me, being free from Google is more important, as well as being part of improving the free (as in freedom) alternative that GNU/Linux provides. I want to help with that, so I sacrifice some convenience for it.

@justincroser@social.linux.pizza and things keep getting better, the "convenience gap" is closing with time.
By the way, related to this discussion: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/11/apple-limits-iphone-filesharing-feature-used-by-protesters-in-china
That kind of thing makes it clear why we need freedom in technology, we need to not be owned by Google/Apple.
