- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Everyone is a noob at first. Stick with it! and good on you for giving it a go!
You're braver than me. I desperately want to degoogle, but my phone is everything. If it doesn't work, my life doesn't function. As a result I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Too scared.
I'm taking it one step at a time. I've cut Windows out. That's enough for now. My plan next is to do away with Gmail and drive, but honestly that's gonna be harder. I have an annoyingly complicated email and cloud set up and I don't know where to start.
Oh, and I'm a professional software developer, so give yourself a break
Why not have two phones? I do that so I have a warm spare in case I break one.
I have a Fold 6 with an xteink x4 attached to the back of it. My pockets are stretched as it is!
But ye I'll probably do this when I'm ready to switch. I'm waiting for a really solid true Linux phone first though
Reminds me of when the original Galaxy Tab 7 was my only phone. It was chunky but still fit pockets somehow. Was comically large but a good piece of kit back then.
Your combo sounds more lumpy.
it gets worse, I've got one of those chonky dbrand cases too 😅 It's a brick and weighs a ton!
Gotta have two phones one for the plug and one for the hoes
