    Daily computing is mostly FOSS programs and my laptop is sold with Linux preinstalled (though I bought the higher spec Windows version and installed Linux myself. Cloud is FOSS, self-hosted in the public cloud (until I get fiber). Phone is rooted Android w/ FOSS apps wherever they meet my needs. I’m about 50% through degoogling and de-Microsofting. Ereader is KOReader (FOSS) running on old Kindle brand hardware. Keyboard is Ergodox Ez which I think the firmware is FOSS. Smarthome is still Smartthings which is not FOSS.

    I’m going to give myself a C- 70% FOSS

      You shouldn’t use root on Android. It throws the security model out the window. Just run something without google

        Going to probably try this after I build my pihole and I can VPN home for ad blocking. Currently I need root to avoid seeing ads.
