Yeah It's more reliable in that way.
Still, I wish there was a something like a simple flag for the package manager so I could control if user data gets preserved.
I'm a bit surprised that that isn't a feature.

Thanks. I wish there was a more straightforward process though.
Every other OS I've used purges all app data after uninstalling, why is Linux different?
Me too, and I'm surprised how I haven't. As a kid I used to pirate stuff from tons of shady websites without any antivirus software on an outdated Windows XP.
What's wrong with lemmyworld?
Wdym by dead on performance? works fine for me.
And yeah, I feel like I'm nailing my feet just to avoid walking into a trap here lol. I should relax, I've minimized a LOT of data collection already.
Any good browser suggestion you have?
I am aware of that feature, but I can't do the same for a few essential system apps that constantly ping chinese IPs for whatever reason.
As for my browser, I mostly use Tor browser for browsing/reading and Mull for downloading and streaming.
Am I being too paranoid? lmao
Yup, you are right. Mobile banking seems to be really difficult on custom ROMs and overall it just brings too many issues. I will keep using the stock ROM for now (HyperOS). I have google play services disabled, all Gapps and Xiaomi bloatware apps deleted. I feel like that's good enough. RethinkDNS to block internet connection from apps that don't need it. I shouldn't let "perfect" get in the way of good.
Do you have any other suggestions to make my phone a bit less of a data mine?
Yeah, it doesn't :(
