@rocket2nfinity Thanks! After reading the documentation I figured that was probably it. I definitely do not mind the drivers as those drivers arent actually monitoring me.

I've been considering for some time moving to linux on my phone since I don't use social media or play games on my phone and I would really like to not be recorded all the time. My biggest concern is just that I am able to have a phone number with which to send and receive texts while being private. To that end, Ubuntu Touch doesn't make much sense to install on a google device if it keeps any google software, so I have to imagine that installing Ubuntu Touch doesnt install it on top of google, but rather removes google first. Before I make any monetary commitment, I just wanted to confirm that google software is completely wiped from the phone or ask if theres a way to completely wipe it and then install ubuntu.
Thanks!
