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!

    Bear in mind, this isn’t actually uninstalling the binaries, it is just masking them for that user account. Samsung/Google can turn them back on whenever they choose.
