I would not call an OS where you can’t really start any “big” app a success. If you can’t do anything with it, what’s the point?
You can’t really degoogle a phone without sacrificing a lot of things. Most “degoogled” phones just use a compatibility layer that still gives google loads of infos
I would much rather have neither of Apple or google, but having to chose, I prefer Apple, at least they’re not on every website I visit
Btw you can “deapple” by jailbreaking but it becomes a huge pain, as degoogling is
Finding a good phone with good specs, a good OS that is elegant and doesn’t track you at an acceptable price with all the features just isn’t possible
Kraken is nice. You can get XMR directly if it’s available in your country, and you’ll have less withdrawal fees. Else, kraken charges about 0,20€ (equivalent in crypto) for withdrawal fees iirc
