I’ve degoogled apart from:

  • Google photos - I have shared storage with my family and I really can’t be doing with sorting out the mess when I cancel my 200GB subscription. I do however back all photos up to my server.
  • Pixel phone - I try not use any Google apps/search but the phones are updated regularly and are reasonably good value for money. Other brands have the Google tracking with the OEM tracking on top.

Give GrapheneOS a go on that Pixel!

I have half of what you have. Did away with Google Photos and moved to self-hosted Immich. No regrets. My case could be somewhat different though, since I only share my pictures and videos with my wife (almost 1TB between pics and videos).

I’m sold on Pixels, mainly because they are basically the only phones that can be seamlessly deGoogled (the irony).
