btw, which of your apps nead google services?

• Okta - work MFA
• Google Watch - only use for payments, app is needed to refresh payment tokens
• Sensi - smart thermostat - I had trouble adding to Home Assistant, will probably try again at some point
• a few random apps I can live without

If I had a viable Linux phone, I’d keep my old Android device around for the above, assuming they don’t work with the emulator (Google Watch probably won’t).

And that’s cool that microG can be disabled. I could maybe live with slower updates, so it sounds viable, assuming the above work.
