My journey towards more European, open source, privacy-oriented, and decentralized alternatives

Over the past few months, I embarked on a rewarding digital journey to move away from US big tech and towards more European [EU], open source [FOSS], privacy-oriented [P], and decentralized [D] alternatives.

I'm sharing my experience here in case it can be useful to others, as well as to gather any additional thoughts or suggestions:
- *Desktop OS*: Microsoft Windows 11 --> OpenSUSE Tumbleweed + KDE [EU][FOSS] - *Web browser*: Google Chrome --> Brave --> Vivaldi --> Mozilla Firefox + Strict privacy settings, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Conset-O-Matic [FOSS][P]
- *Email*: Gmail --> Infomaniak Mail [EU][FOSS] - *Calendar*: Google Calendar --> Infomaniak Calendar [EU][FOSS] + OneCalendar [EU]
- *Files*: Dropbox --> Infomaniak kDrive [EU][FOSS] - *Photos*: Google Photos --> Infomaniak kDrive [EU][FOSS]
- *Notes*: Google Keep --> Notesnook [FOSS][P] - *Social Media*:
- Facebook --> Nothing
- Twitter/X --> Mastodon (mas.to) [EU][FOSS][D]
- Reddit --> Lemmy (lemm.ee) [EU][FOSS][D]
- *AI Chatbot*: OpenAI ChatGPT --> Mistral AI Le Chat [EU] - *Videos*: Youtube --> Unwatched [EU][FOSS][P]
- *Podcasts*: Apple Podcasts --> Spotify --> Pocket Casts [FOSS] - *Translate*: Google Translate --> DeepL [EU]
- *Maps*: Google Maps --> Organic Maps [EU][FOSS][P] - *Weather*: Apple Weather --> YR [EU]
- *Online payments*: PayPal --> Revolut [EU] - *Password manager*: LastPass --> Mozilla Firefox --> Bitwarden [FOSS][P]
- *Online shopping*: Amazon --> Cdiscount [EU] - *Travel booking*: Booking.com --> Direct booking

And here's the list of things I couldn't let go of:
- Mobile OS*: iOS | I have a business iPhone which is also my personal phone - *Messaging*: WhatsApp | The network effect is too big here: family, friends, local businesses, etc
- *Streaming services: Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ | These come basically for free with my ISP and are too convenient for the moment (esp. w/ kids)
