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!
@ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com unfortunately, Samshits are incredibly locked down, don’t expect root on it anytime soon and to be stuck with most bloatware. Even if root on your model is achieved, it’ll come at the cost of 20% of your battery life. Samshit is so petty, they will lock out 20% of your battery if root is achieved.
It’s Pixel + GrapheneOS, OnePlus or live with the bloat for us in the US
