Well, I'm still looking for my first job to purchase myself a Pixel, so I can't really change OS yet.
I see. What phone do you have currently? LineageOS for example has support for a huge list of devices.

There is also a version of Lineage that comes with microG preinstalled and it supports all the same devices.

Installing a custom OS isnt super hard but if you arent familiar with using a terminal and such it might be a bit daunting of a project.
SamsungA15. And I also wanna have a separate android phone, just in case. I'm not going full on another OS before making sure it all works well.
Wait, you removed system apps on a Samsung phone? How?
Brevent. Command was something like pm user uninstall or... I keep forgetting it :(
Brevent looks to me like an app to help you force stop other apps. How did you use it to run adb commands?
Also,
pm userisn't a valid command. Did you meanpm disable-user PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT?Having a quick look, the A15 seems like a notoriously hard target to degoogle. 🫤
I know, I'll buy another phone soon.
