  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Speaking of not being able to delete system apps, a friend of mine with a Pixel phone says Google Play cannot be uninstalled from it. Anybody know for sure?

    [–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Neither can the Chrome or Youtube apps, among others...

    [–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Ok then apparently his play store must have gotten hidden somehow. My theory is that he just fucked up.

    [–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

    I had something similar, and yeah you can replace the entire OS with a customized version, which took someone significant effort to strip away the GA (Google Apps probably?) from it. So the answer depends on how much effort you want to put into the task - it's doable, but not easy.

    You can via adb ( android debug bridge ) , no root needed, but you need a pc or shizuku. Although if he has a pixel device he should just install GrapheneOS imo. Edit: puxel -> pixel

    [–] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

    No you can't, 1 version of Google Play is bundled with the system image and cannot be removed. But you can uninstall updates and disable it to remove the automatically updated copy of Google Play.

    It's a Pixel... Y'know, the phone universally supported by degoogled OSes including Graphene? The ease of unlocking the bootloader is the only reason I have one at all!

    [–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

    I moved from 16 years of iPhones to a Pixel 9 purely so I could put Graphene on it. It's been a couple of months so far and I'm loving it.

    [–] Stomata@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

    On adb use pm uninstall than package name. there is something called universal android debloter. Also you can use shizuku with canta to remove it.
