#ProTip for people wanting to use Android without letting Goggle violate your privacy;

Don't login with a Goggle account.

In place of the Prey Store, Use F-Droid to install the apps you need, or other app stores that you can install using an APK downloaded from their official site.

I love you, @kde ! Plasma is the best :D
