I started doing all of that when Trump was elected. I switched from Windows to Linux Mint, got rid of Office 365, no longer buying stuff from the US whenever possible. Using Adblockers when I use Youtube and so on.
It is not hard, you can take one step after the other and slowly get away from all the American stuff.

Exactly. These are steps that we can take to strike the US corporations. And we can do so legally.
I use Linux on my machines. And even though I use MacOS for my MacBook Air and Mini, I’m figuring out if I should replace it with Linux as well.
But I got rid of Windows, office 365 and gmail. I use Proton with custom domain.
Cloud back up? I own my private backup in an European VPS.
Also have my own Nextcloud set up in European VPS.
Search engine? I use Qwant.
Mobile browser? I use Vivaldi.
Still use an iPhone but also bought a 2nd hand phone and flashed Sailfish OS in it.
Yes, I do pay for some of these things but at least I’m not being tracked and I know I’m doing my part against these evil US Companies.
