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!
You should be able to root it with odin and install TWRP as a custom recovery. From there install a cfw of your choice.
Or just use your new root power to uninstall the bloatware.

OP stated the device is already unlocked.
Any favorite firewall recommendation?
