  • This might not be your issue but replace the subscriptions you use with FOSS ones.

    Windows for Linux. MS365 Office for LibreOffice (although I guess you could say Google docs too). DropBox for Filen (or other services). … Gameing for retro Roms? Etc.

    Theres also lots of foss support for pirating streamed media.

    I couldn’t belive how many my live at home 18yr old cousin was paying for.

    • hotspot WiFi
    • playataton online
    • game pass to play whatever game
    • Netflix
    • Spotify
    • YT premium
    • … let alone the mobile plan itself







  • GOS = Easy to super easy

    Linage / other on Samsung = hard

    In the past other roms on devices have caused issues for me (I’m happy to deal with them) and others (who would prefer to just use google).

    I understand you want the best for your friend, but if there already immersed the best experience for them is just default samsung.

    It would be better IMO to format, debloat, and then install some privacy friendly options.

    • FDroid
    • Thunderbird / Email client of choice
    • signal
    • browser of choice
    • etc

    That way they have some privacy apps to get started.
