Also, why do you leave your de-googled device? Just don’t pay for stuff on their store and use alternative stores with anonymous access like Aurora store or just go full f-droid.
I use iodéOS and am very happy with it. Easy de-googled life.
Yeah, I enjoyed my time with k3s setup at home as well, but right now I don’t really want nor need that 😄
None of the power, all of the hassle 💪💪
Check Forgejo out, they are currently working on federation through ActivityPub. Might be something for you.

These days I’d recommend Clone Hero
NixOS is exactly what you want.
You declare your configs in a way that you can just copy them to another computer and it willbe configured the same way.
I’ve never tried it my self, but I might for my next machine.
I think that is just about how to strip the iodeOS modifications from the system without a complete reset or something. Probably using adb and fastboot as you mentioned. But I have no idea about how any of this works or why I would want to do that.
If you want to install any other OS, just go about it as you would normally. I don’t see how this changes anything really.
I’ve run iodéOS for at least a year by now.
It used to have some bugs that mildly inconvenienced me,but they have all been fixed now.
I really like it. It just works.
Uninstallable default apps just means that the stores (f-droid / aurora), browsers, camera and lots more can be removed in the settings, so you dont need to root access to do so.
Don’t want the default email client and contacts app? Just uninstall them from the settings. Takes a reboot to take effect.
If you need them again, just go back there, install them again, reboot and you’re golden.

Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
I believe money shouldn’t be involved.
Just match sellers and buyers together and let them figure the terms and transaction out themselves.
All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.
Not a simple task, but keep the money out and it will all be easier.
I believe you are fixating on something that won’t have much impact regardless of what choice you make. I have been using “windows keyboards” on Linux for years with literally no problems (related to keyboards and Linux). I mostly game, browse the web and work as a software engineer.
Focus on what feels good physically/ergonomically for you and your workflow and you’ll be golden.
The only caveat I’d throw in there is if your keyboard of choice has some sort of RGB program for Windows or other custom software. It might not be as simple to control that functionality from Linux, but in many cases there are open source Linux alternatives for that software.
I think the crowd you are describing are just the wave of technological first adopters who usually have these traits.
As Lemmy becomes more mainstream, the less privacy focused users will grow in numbers and soon you will have more of this type of posts.
