I feel like #degoogle seems to embody a greater movement to leave bigtech. Here are the crazy things I've done over the last month or so.

  • Installed Arch on my laptop about a month ago
  • re-engaged my Mastodon and Bluesky while deleting Twitter and unfriending everyone on Facebook
  • Installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel
  • Moved email to custom domain and Tuta from Gmail
  • Moved to NextCloud in place of Google Drive
  • Moved photos from Google Photos to Ente Photos
  • Moved my PKM and Notes to Logseq
  • Moved from Chome and Google Search to Firefox, Tor and DuckDuckGo
  • Just deleted Reddit and started a Lemmy account.

It's been a ride and I'm open to other suggestions and guides.

Great! All of these are great alternatives, but I would replace Firefox with librewolf.

    I second that you use Librewolf, which is a hardened fork of Firefox.

    But beware of using any recent firefox, zen, and librewolf packages from the AUR. They supposedly contain malware.

    How do you know? I probably got my latest Librewolf from AUR. Thanks for letting us know!

    It was news. Also, I think the malware package was included additionally to the normal package. They just changed the name by including "patch", " fix", etc.

    Other packages like MS fonts, Google chrome were also infected the same way.
