Has to be Windows - > Linux followed by Amazon - > multiple UK or European Shops.
Windows -> Linux Mint Gmail -> Tuta mail Outlook -> mailbox Facebook -> [nothing] Instagram -> pixelfed iCloud -> Jotta cloud (not Eu, but Norwegian’s) Reddit -> Lemmy PayPal -> [nothing] More to come…
Backblaze to Infomaniak – mainly for our office‘s cloud service, but moved our domain registration and email service there as well. Super happy and never looked back! Also: Reddit to Lemmy
Windows => Linux Stock-Android => iodéOS CustomROM
And probably buying from Otto instead of Amazon. Works in Germany pretty well.
Using Linux mint instead of Microsoft. The windows 11 update fiasco made that easy.
Also: Google photos> photoprism and immich
I'd like to host my own email at some point too and move away from Gmail . or at least have a offline copy of my emails combined with an online EU service.
Notion to Anytype
Moved my main repositories off from Github to Codeberg. The latter is more minimalist, but has what it needs instad of being an overbloated mess with AI slop features. Cannot fullz abandon Github due to the vast amount of code there, also some projects I'm contributing to have no plans to move.
While I know I should have moved to single blade safety razors, Lidl's own 5 blade offerings last longer than Gilette Fusion, while being the fraction of the price.
Not all EU, but all moves in the right direction i think...
Android to GrapheneOS

Kindle to Kobo

Retro gaming on handhelds

Plus boycot all the fast food chains, coca-cola etc.
