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.dbzer0.com)

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 You can remove whatever you want with adb shell or this: https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater

It will not allow you to remove the Windows Link app. It gets rid of most of the other stuff I hate though.
