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!

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.youtube

you can start there and than you know how to uninstall the rest of the bloat

adb shell pm list packages

will give you a list of all the installed packages

you don't even need to root to uninstall through adb

but, with an unlocked phone it should be better to just install a degoogled android

https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater already has a list for samsung debloating
