How to Degoogle without customROM? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi, I want to degoogle a Samsung Tablet I got. There is no LineageOS built out for this recent tablet, so I can only try to degoogle the stock ROM.

Any good guides to follow?

And further guides to remove the Samsung bloat? Thanks!

The first thing you need is root access. Then you can uninstall all google apps (including system apps).

rooting is not necessary to uninstall Gapps, adb is enough

Now, I know. Does that work with older android versions too? I had trouble using adb to uninstall/disable system apps on a samsung phone running android 9. That's why I recommended rooting.
