I kinda took out my old phone (Sony) and flashed on that… And running parallel while I degoogle myself… Takes some time to change all email registrations from govt. And tax authorities to other external services like docs, banks and stuff…so doing dual phone for a fee weeks and then dropped main phone (fairphone5) to fully shift on e/os phone (sony)… And then will reset the ex-main phone (ff5) when degoogle is complete… I am too busy these days so it’s taking very long. (Also clean up Google inboxes and then back up vs. Backup and then clean up old inboxes is a struggle for me). Once fully complete I will flash ex-mainphone FF5 with e/os as well and switch to it And then use the 2nd phone to shift my partner and kids slowly. And in a year or next upgrades I think I might buy my family older pixel phones and flash e/os on them.

Maybe you should also get a side phone to start the project.

What phone do you want to flash on? Is it in this list? https://doc.e.foundation/devices

In the new plasma/Wayland it is pretty dope… I make 4 desktops per activity in a matrix shape and use 2 activities work and home and it’s pretty easy to zip a out in the OS and switch activities and desktops with muktifinger scroll, and shortcuts for desktops and activity switching…

Friend 1: do you like dark humour? Friend 2 : yes. Frind 1: How dark is your humour? Friend 2: it picks cotton.

Interface tailoring, desktop tapestry, jamming all up in my pazaaz.

I have been through many setups, almost started using Markour… But then something about bullet journaling and the pen/paper relationship just had a magical touch to it… Then almost bought supernote… Then actually bought Boox Go 10.3… And I do my journaling BuJo style, my manga and book reading, and some writing with Bluetooth Logitech keys to go on it. You could sync to cloud but I kinda use it as a paper notebook and reader/writer so I keep my backups local. Might do PDF backups to one of the clouds, they give you some options. But then again, a lot of my handwritten things get OCR/written into a document anyway… And after a year is done I rarely go back to the same diary anyway. And the important ones I save as PDF anyway…
This kinda setup is working for me so far. You might be different… As we all are.
