Is anyone building (open source?) G-Suite - I’m honestly tired of paying Google money and I think everyone needs independence.

Yes, "Euro-Office" was launched this week. It is a European fork of "OPENOFFICE".

It is open source and supported by Nextcloud, IONOS, Proton, Tuta and more.[1]

I haven't tried it out, bu you can find the documentation on how to host it yourself here: https://euro-office.github.io/documentation/

A more mature alternative would is Nextcloud as it offers a lot more, but setup is reportedly more involved. It does appear to be available for enterprise customers as hosted version as well though: https://nextcloud.com/office/

Something like nextcloud.com? It's appeared on HN a few times. Some European governments and municipalities have switched to it.

Not exactly free as in free beer but Collabora, and their 'Collabora Online' suite fits your description. It's effectively online hosted libre office with a few extras.

Where and how will you host your email service, for example?

to be clear is the "paying" part or "google" part a problem to you?

Nextcloud+self hosted email

No one made the easy pickings of Facebook clone, Reddit clone or Twitter clone for insane profits. You really think someone will make a gsuite?

The person making project X days are over. The energy and drive is extinguished from humanity. Ambition is all that’s left.
