P.S.
If you feel like you'll never have the time or skills to flash a phone but crave an alternate, Google-free phone, you have the following three options (I'm aware of) atm:
1.) Sailfish OS: apart from the odd already flashed device on Ebay et al, you can go to the shop at https://jolla-devices.com and see what's in stock (not too much atm, but Xperia 10 is on the horizon and will be available through this page);

3.) And last but not least, you can always go to a @cryptoparty@mastodon.earth near you, bring a phone and will probably find someone who will help you flash it with an open OS like /e/ or #Lineage for free.
You can find those e.g. in London @CryptoPartyLDN, Berlin @cryptoparty_berlin or Toulouse @Cryptoparty@mastodon.tetaneutral.net – just have a look at https://www.cryptoparty.in/parties/upcoming for upcoming events.

Good night, and good luck! 🤓
2. ) De-Googled Android: @gael|s /e/ foundation sells its user-friendly open-source Android OS preinstalled on refurbished phones at https://e.foundation/e-pre-installed-refurbished-smartphones/
