It's like selling your "Boycott Amazon" bumper sticker with free Prime shipping.

I say it far too much on here but it's a right shame that there's still no decent alternative to these devices. No operating system offers the same battery life, stability and power as they do, not to mention the ecosystem that while annoying, forces devs away from the downfalls of modern code (mostly). If the EU really wants sovergnity, they aren't getting it from linux alone, either they work with a tech giant there to bolster a stack or they continue ambling along with Microsoft technicians around their ankles and Amazon around their neck.

As for smartphones, ironically the best option for to break dependency on Google services is to get a Google Pixel + install GrapheneOS + F-Droid. Google Pixels are some of the very few devices with a fully unlocked bootloader, so it's viable to install alternative operating systems.

FFS: getting out of the Apple ecosystem is the easy part.

Avoiding the Windows ecosystem, for me, has been much harder. Generally, there is somebody that will incidentally pull you into it for work.
