There’s a program called universal android debloater which let’s you delete pretty much anything you want. I’ve used it and it’s like a miracle.

Still once you get to that stage it’s so much more tempting to skip that and get busy on trying to get postmarketOS going or something.

Join forces with postmarketOS?

I mean I’m well aware that they won’t be taking any of their work over to that platform but they are expanding their hardware support pretty wide and it’s full on linux afaik.
