Yes but it's just as bad Micro G is still installed as a root app in the system and still uses proprietary Google code required for MicroG to work so micro G may limit the data the get but the are still getting it. I use proton mail on GOS with no sandboxed Google Play and just notifications are broke and that's fine by me.

Glad I don't use any Google services and no apps on graphene OS then for my main computers I run Fedora silverblue with no Google once again.
Glad I switched from iOS to Graphene OS and no Google all Open Source.
Could always search and see if there are any builds for it many open source router firmware out there. OpenWrt, DD-WRT is where I would start looking.
No there would be no blocking the would just shut it down but the could sanction any company that violates the ban that's about it for enforcement. But a VPN to another country would bypass it but it would not be US version of tiktok.
The apps would be delisted from all App stores and then tiktok said the would have to shut down the US Servers.
That sucks my bank app doesn't seem to rely on it for anything other than notifications and I can live without those.
Because I am trapped here and have to use current tech and you know I dont do off the grid! 🖖
No my bank app doesn't even use Google Play in anyway depends on the bank.
I have a work gmail as well with works apps with Google Play but it's in a work profile so separate from. Main so I understand that.
Thank you will look into $5 isn't alot so will probably switch to it.
Been using Linux for 15 years now since I turned 11 haven't touched Windows and it was the best decision I ever made. I remember in 2009 I got world of Warcraft running under wine and that was hard. But the bottom cast bar was invisible and just had to remember your key bindings but it worked. (It was Ubuntu 9.10)
