I have completely stopped using google services and software on my personal devices (even have lineageos + microg on my phone. The problem is that I can't just explain to the technically uneducated people that I changed mail providers. How should I go about doing this?

Just set up forwarding with a message including the new address. On a related note if your looking to host your own mail server I did for a few years with the docker Mail-in-a-Box. Setup was easy but convincing everyone else's email providers I wasn't spam was the hard part.

Yeah fuck hosting your own mail infra if you're not a big company with lot of money to throw into it. Just not worth the pain

Besides, the benefits of doing it are pretty damn minimal except if you specifically want to learn mail infra
