Just got a new unlocked Samsung 25 Ultra and it's filled with bloatware you're not allowed to uninstall. I need a hack to uninstall it. (lemmy.world)

I'm not buying a Pixel because I'm not giving Google any money. I'm in the US so the other OSs will not work for me. I just need this crap off my phone. I can't uninstall Youtube, and it came with Facebook. It's just infuriating. Can I just root it and connect it to my Linux laptop and just force uninstalls or something without bricking the device?

Any help appreciated!

Totally. God how I hate to be forced to jump through thousands of hoops, and potentially brick your phone every time, just to actually own the shit you paid 1500 moneyz for.

If they'd dare this with PCs....pre-installed windows that tells you "you mustn't remove fuckbook from the startmenu!". I would ragequit that device outta the literal window.
