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!

            Moto G54 5g for 185€.

            The only complaint I have is there is a ‘live lockscreen’ app that is terrible, if you try and uninstall it pops up again and again, you just have to remove all permissions, clear the cache, etc ad disable…just like all the other Google bullshit.
