To toggle the switch go to settings, apps, Google Play services sandboxed, play services special permissions and toggle the only available switch for icc
They just released an update this month that has it working, I mean time will tell if it continues too but they specifically put a new permission in for this issue
Much later into the career than you but honestly in the same boat. I don't fucking let any of that shit into my house, I don't use any of the big tech companies software, FOSS on everything I own and I honestly have become so disillusioned with mainline consumer tech because it's honestly mostly trash imo. The older I get the more I realize I just want a fucking laptop with a decent keyboard, decent screen and good battery life.
Do you have a link? I have a small army of OnePlus 6Ts literally just for playing with Linux OS on them. I'd love to try this workaround, if you don't have the link readily available no sweat I'll look about
P.s. new to my knowledge fedora is running on the 6T albeit very slowly compared to postmarket and mobian
I have not gotten it to work for calls but I'm prejudiced, I loved Maemo and Meego and have really only poked around the OS without a SIM connected because I couldn't use it for calls in the US

If you turn off RCS a day or two before switching and ensure you message these groups after this is typically negated (at least in my experience) GrapheneOS just put out a way to use RCS on its OS this month which is really nice, I have it on its own profile for RCS and use open bubbles for iMessage/FaceTime and I'm astounded how well it works tbh. But the goal is to slowly harass enough of my frequent contacts to get on signal, so far I'm doing great, my largest hold out being my wife lol
Honestly Graphene is the only one that I'd trust unless you're not going to add any Google play services at all with Lineage, and I'm including micro G on that too.
Sailfish OS is beautiful and really nice, decent app support, but kind of a pain in the USA, postmarketos shows strong promise, but doesn't have VOLTE support yet which makes it a dealbreaker for me personally. I know a lot of folks love UBports, it never really was something I enjoyed. I'm really hoping to use Sailfish in the USA someday
I used an iphone when I started, it's kind of a nice easy way to start but eventually I moved the grapheneOS because ideologically I don't want any proprietary software
Yeeeeaaahhhh this one hits hard
