I have a Samsung Flip. It’s incredibly hard to disable all of the bloat, and I’ve found stuff gets randomly enabled after every update, which happens once a month or so.

Every month, I have to go through all of the shit I’ve disabled - every uninstallable Samsung app which I’ve turned off background data - and check that Samsung hasn’t re-enabled an app’s ability to change system settings, or use background data. I’m not even convinced turning that stuff off does anything, since Samsung clearly has fine-grained control of settings; disabling the option to perform notifications, for instance.

My device is not on the supported list of any de-Googled or Linux OS, so I’m stuck until I replace this device - but I’m never buying another Samsung.
