You won't get downvoted to hell. Custom roms are popular on the federnet. Most of us avoid Samsung.

I think they're fine phones, just locked down and their UI is annoying.

If I had known then what I know now I would not have gotten a Samsung phone. It's what I'm stuck with though because it works fine and I don't see the point in buying a new phone until this one dies.

You and I both fell into that trap because no one else seems to care and the fanboys will even deny the bloatware exists.

I'm still shocked that Bixby is so terrible. I only use it to set timers when I'm baking and it can't even do that 50% of the time.

I'm not shocked, they're all terrible. The only thing that shocks me is that they keep trying year after year.
