    A good 90% I’d say. All my devices run Linux (NixOS laptop, Ubuntu server, LineageOS phone).

    Non-FOSS stuff:

    • AMD GPU in my Framework 16 laptop means the only unfree package on my laptop is Steam.
    • The proprietary apps I do run on my phone are TooGoodToGo and my bank as I’m not aware of alternatives.
    • I wear a Pebble Time Steel smartwatch, also not aware of any alternatives.
    • PS5 controller firmware has no replacement.

    I don’t browse the surface web a lot and when I do I tend to disable JS, so I avoid most of the nonfree JS. I have no social media accounts besides Mastodon, Matrix, and Lemmy, which are all free :)

    As an extension, all my close family runs Linux on their computers, as it ended up being lower maintenance than setting them up with Windows when time came to upgrade.

    • Possibly linux@lemmy.zip

      For watches you can use the Pine time or BangleJS. The Banglejs doesn’t do as well in terms of privacy and freedom but it is better than nothing.

      As for banking I usually do it either in person or on there website.

        How would BangleJs be worse in terms of privacy? You can run both with gadgetbridge, so no cloud data necessary.

        I wore a Pinetime for a while, sadly the touchscreen can’t beat the Pebble’s buttons. I’d buy a Pinetime with buttons and a non-touch reflective LCD in a heartbeat though! I was looking at BangleJS or Watchy as replacements but I’m really unsure about the durability and how usable they’d be (I need just the time and notifications, maps/navigation is a big plus tho).
