Alternative roms are the way. I'm on LineageOS with microG for some apps, but have zero Google apps. Works faster than official Android
I don't even run microg on my Android phone.
But I will soon migrate to a Mobian phone. I have once ported Mobian to the Pixel 3a, but the hardware is aging, the battery doe not get any better and I cannot replace it. Luckily I also have a Fairphone 5 running Mobian and once the patches for audio are there, I will use it as my daily driver. I already have it all set up and configured.
Oh and I will have to test, once audio works, whether the alarm clock is reliable. But I know every part I need is there. Sure, the image quality of the camera isn't great without full support, but I'd rather have crappy photos than spyware.
