undefined | Better HN

I did it:

- LineageOS + MicroG and F-Droid for mobile.

- NextCloud (and DAV) running on an old laptop for calendar, contacts, and file storage. The mobile app uploads all my photos automatically. It backs up to Backblaze

-ProtonMail with a custom domain for email.

Amazon is pretty avoidable. Shipping has gotten faster and cheaper everywhere else at this point. At least for the rural place I am.

I'm not particularly tech savvy. This took a significant time effort for me. At this point, it's all pretty stable, I don't really have glitches anymore. I imagine the average HN user could easily replicate it, and if this type of setup got more popular, it would invariably get easier to set up.

What phone did you load LineageOS on? Do you know of any guides for it?

I was using a Pixel 2, but the list of well documented phones is available:

It's pretty simple if your phone is supported. You enable developer mode, enable USB debugging, download the image, and run a couple ADB commands. For me it was:

fastboot flashing unlock

fastboot update image.zip

And that was it.

Not GP, but I'd been using LineageOS on my HTC OneMax. I like it a lot.

Here's a list of supported devices:

It is good to see such implementations adopted more and more
