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?

"My new email address is persen@icloud.com"

Done.

No explanation necessary. Just give people the new address.

(Just used icloud as a bad joke there.)

If op still has the gmail an auto response like "this address is no longer checked, please email me at [new email]"

People would just ignore it or send an email later.
