If you can afford it, make your next phone a Google Pixel and put GrapheneOS on it. Despite the phone being google, all the google crap will be removed by the OS.

Nextcloud self-hosted to replace Google Drive.

Install as many apps as possible from F-Droid and the rest via Aurora Store.

Even though you’re saying install GrapheneOS, it still seems a bit odd to suggest a Google Pixel 😆

It is somewhat ironic, though GrapheneOS only supports Pixel phones. Having messed around with custom Android ROMs before, I can understand why the dev team are choosing a narrow selection of devices to maintain builds for. Just take a look at how many different Samsung phones there are out there - it would be a nightmare to try and support all of them!

It's one of the closest devices to AOSP spec, so not a bad starting point for Android, regardless of flavor.

Pixel, Moto, and Nexus have all been some of my favorites because the direct Google support means nobody is going to stop you from unlocking the bootloader and having your way with the system image.
