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!

I have not specifically followed this website, but the procedure that they describe to uninstall seemingly locked down bloatware using adb from my older Galaxy A series worked well: https://technastic.com/remove-samsung-bloatware-safe-to-remove-apps/
