I just put lineageOS on my oneplus 6. When you install it you have the option of leaving out the google specific apps, which I did. I’ve been a long time android user but am wanting to degoogle to reduce my surveillance capitalism exposure. Without the google “play store” if feels a little like when I moved from windows to linux, what if I don’t have enough apps? So far banking apps are a no go (can’t download the apks directly), otherwise I mostly use FDroid apps anyway rather than play store. Feels good to ditch google.

I have an eye on mobile nixos. I have a second oneplus 6 that needs a new usb port so may try fixing that one and seeing how it goes.
