I find the biggest challenge for me... Or one of the last things I have to do is to switch to GrapheneOS or something.

I will get to that one of these days.

Sure feels nice each time you switch off one of the big US companies for tech though.

I'm still rocking an iPhone 13 Mini and decided to buy the Fairphone 6 - will install /e/OS and try it alongside the iPhone. My biggest challenge is to find a replacement for iCloud Photos, as I have >250 GB of photos stored in it. I tried Nextcloud, Ente, Immich but had issues with all of them which made me stick with iCloud. I might start fresh with the Fairphone and "archive" the iCloud library on a hard drive.

I feel you there as Iโ€™m currently stuck on iPhone. Hopefully Ubuntu Touch is ready for my use case in 2028.

Been using grapheneOS for a couple months on my pixel 9. No problems and easy to install.

I've read that K-suite (German if I recall correctry) was a good alternative to W365/G-suite

It's actually from a Swiss company in the french part of Switzerland. We use it at work and it's a really nice suite overall.

Exo and outlook app are very hard to find a replacement

Have you tried Mailspring or Thunderbird with the EarlyBird theme? They're not perfect but Mailspring is pritty decent for most email tasks once you get used to the interface.
