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!

      People not understanding what bloatware is how it works and how it is not in their best interests is not the same as it not being bloatware

        What does Person Shrugging emoji mean?

        The person shrugging emoji can designate ignorance, indifference, self-acceptance, passive-aggression, annoyance, giving up, or not knowing what to make of something. It could also be a visual form of the one-word response of indifference, “whatever.”
