It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

This is a daunting proposition, I'm admittedly massively invested in Google's ecosystem. Gmail and Google calendar, I have a pixel phone, watch and buds and have YouTube premium. I feel like the time I switch is when I have a homelab and am able to find open source alternatives to everything heavily use and be able to do so with all devices I use.

I have one and do so. It's pretty great. I will admit I still have some google services on it, but I'm working on not needing those.
