That is a really noble reason to do so. Especially if you loved meat so much.

I have always liked to eat fish more than meat.
After emigrating to Germany I have noticed that meat is really expensive here. Still I bought a piece of meat.
Once I bit into it I was so disgusted by the taste that in that moment I decided not to eat meat anymore.
For me personally it was a great change, amd I'm really loving the lifestyle. I have lost weight and I feel better.
I'm also aware that it might not feel the same for everyone given that I wasn't much of a meat fan from the start.
Oh there are a lot of small things I had to give up because of rising costs of living. TBHany have been a positive change.
- Eating meat (yes, really)
- Impulse buying of all sorts
The whole situation has made me more intentional with my money, and I like that.
MIne was from 2007. So not as old as yours. Yes, there are many things connected to it, but you can't imagine what a feeling of relief that is.
I switched to Proton too
I'm in a very similar situation like you are. I too have started to be annoyed with the Big Tech products and the Internet in general.
I have switched to Lemmy, shut down my gmail account and opened a Proton Mail, and switched from using Google search engine to Qwant.
I too have switched to Linux Mint, and I'm loving it. TBH my IT colleauges talked me into buying refurbished Thinkpad laptop and told me to install Linux Mint. Boy am I glad I did that.
The next step for me is switching to Fairphone :D
Wow it's a real beauty
