Google search - Start page
Gmail - Proton Mail
Google Drive - MEGA
Youtube- Newpipe
YouTube music - Black hole or Musify
Pixel Phones - Pine64 (Linux phone)
Isn't Newpipe just a frontend to YouTube? It's better for privacy, sure, but it still technically supports YouTube.
You might prefer Peertube then
Would recommend self hosting the drive aspect, cheaper and you retain your own information all the while.
Pixel phones are fine with a custom OS. Linux phones are horrible both with user interface and battery life.
Instead of black hole (which has horrible catalog of music) or Musify, just selfhost Deemix+Navidrome.
Instead of startpage use something more reputable like qwant or duckduckgo.
Proton can be debatable because of it's past, though they have since fixed it. Alternatives include : tutanota, mailbox.org, etc. Alot of good email alternatives exist.
can you expand a little on protons past? I haven't heard about it. I'm trying to decide what email service to go with currently since I just bought a domain and I wanted to use it with my new non-googled email
Protonmail doesn't have a past of bad behaviour per se - they do comply with legal subpoenas from the Swiss authorities (they are based there) but as emails are user-key encrypted and they don't keep a copy of the user key, the most they can provide is IP addresses and dates.
There was some stuff that went down with regards to a French activist but nothing that puts Protonmail at fault (again, legally binding court order, they literally had no choice)
Dont know how to host. If someone can make a guide, I would love to host all my stuff. I am not sure about using Duckduckgo as anything US based is a big red flag. As a EU citizen, I would prefer search engine hosted in EU.
https://yunohost.org/ This is by far the easiest way to get into self-hosting I've seen. I have more specific needs so I don't personally use it, but it's really cool.
I made a comment a little bit ago relating to creating a NAS, but the steps are generally the same.
