Disclaimer: I work at mentioned company, and these are my personal opinions.
I find the drive UI super sluggish and not really something a power user can really take advantage of. If you can get owncloud going (I host on digital ocean for now, until I get my nas up and working) I found that gives me a much better user experience.

I would argue the google has so much stuff and api’s that a large chunk of the internet is wholly dependent on it.
So even if you reduce the amount of app/services ect… you are still googled whether you like it or not.
You can greatly reduce your footprint and you should.

The idea is to use stuff that don’t even require internet connection when possible. But yes, Google is entrenched pretty good.

Thinking of trying proto mail instead of gmail, would rather make my own Pi server but that can wait.
Anyone have any experience with it?

I use Mega.nz I guess Nextcloud is better but that involves lot more investment.
For this I have no replacement. I have found few alternatives but they are all poor in comparison. I just access google translate through Tor.

I have de-googled myself down to
Android - To be replaced with a Librem 5 probably.
YouTube - I think I will be fine without an account. Also a lot of the people I like are on other platforms now. Patreon & Vimeo etc
Google Groups - For just one group.
Google Maps - Need to find a decent alternative.
Email - Self hosted Dovecot / Postfix
Cloud - Self hosted Nextcloud
Search - Startpage or duckduckgo
Firefox - Always been my go to browser
Signal - For messaging
Cloudflare - For DNSSEC
ISP - https://www.aa.net.uk/broadband/why-choose-aaisp/
VPN - PIA
On the non-google side with Proton / Steam Play / Vulkan hopefully I can dump my Windows 10 install. I do almost everything in Linux already. Its not a dual boot setup. I just swap the boot disks in BIOS.
I have no “smart” home speakers or automation.

Would love to do that too.
YouTube have RSS feeds for channels, so might switch to that.
There are different OSM clients, many proprietary, tho.
That is dope, how hard is to set up and maintain that, head a lot of bad comments about mail self-hosting.
Same.
I approve.
