Little steps: (applicable if you use google services)

Major impact steps:

I never really used googles apps much to begin with apart from youtube, maps and chrome, I used a lot of microsoft shit before they really started shitting the bed with windows 11 and ai garbage.
Biggest issue I ran in to changing to Graphene and not using play services was lack of push notifications but these days i prefer to have notifications off for most things and the really important stuff either has alternatives or runs in the background.
Battery life without play services is insane too so thats a bonus.
Havent deleted my google account yet cause I still use it for youtube subs but im sure in time it will disappear.
Fuck that shit off permanently please
