Software recommendations discussion
Discuss software recommendations. I locked it as I don't want it to be messy and hard to consume. Feel free to say anything here regarding that thread.
A few commented before I locked it. Apologies. My mistake, I wasn't quick enough :).

"F-droid instead of playstore. As a source for applications
Fairmail/ k-9 instead of gmail. As an email clients"
I'm not familiar with Fairmail or k-9. Can you give a little more info on them. I think usually proton mail and tutanota are commonly advocated (https://lemmy.ml/post/2274183).
I've been degoogled for a little bit over a year now and here's what I use (disclaimer: I own a NAS / homserver, so I got a little bit more options than most people would).
- Android OS: /e/OS
- Browser: Firefox and Bromite
- Maps: Organic Maps
- Play Store: F-Droid (droidify client in my case) and App Lounge.
- YouTube: Libretube (privacy-friendly YouTube client)
- Translation: DeepL
- Movies, TV Shows, Music: self-hosted Jellyfin
- Automatic backup of my images and videos: self-hosted Immich
- VPN server: self-hosted Wireguard server
- Document management: self-hosted Nextcloud Office + LibreOffice on my PC
- E-Mail service: ProtonMail (self-hosting this is a pain in the ass, so I'll just leave it to experts)
- Search engine: DuckDuckGo
Check out [email protected] for tons of stuff on self-hosting services and https://www.privacyguides.org/en/ for a lot of other good alternatives.
Bromite is a terrible idea. It's 9 months out of date and it isn't maintained anymore. It's superceded by Cromite.
