How did you degoogle exactly?

I flashed a degoogle OS (Lineage) and immediatly flashed MicroG, before the first boot.

I was under the assumption this was the proper way to do it, but it's been years at this point, maybe I misremember or maybe stuff have changed.

idk if this is right to do but i removed google playstore (replaced it with aurora store and bcs it needs a account to use as well) and switched off google services (according to my debloater app google play services can bootloop the device which i dont want)

I suspect you may have gone at it in a bit of a brutal way that I'm not sure is entirely effective, but then again I guess in this community there are better judge for that than myself...
