So, there's been ample discussion in the corresponding community threads and Samsung has gotten a lot of hate there.

Sadly the S23 looks rather tempting to me, since the pixel 7a I replaced my 5 with is too big for my liking.

How much Pixel-like experience can I achieve if I uninstall all the Samsung bloatware? What will I miss out on? Do I have to expect it running sluggish or unstable? Or will I get any errors due to missing samsung software components? Will all the apps reinstall on updates?

And since OneUI6 is around the corner: Will the ADB-debloat also work with the newer version?

Thanks!

good to know!

As much as I like tinkering with stuff I really don't want my phone be something that needs constant attention...

Yeah, same boat. I was dreading switching to the S23U from the S10 because it took so long to setup the S10. With ADB App Control, it was pretty painless. ADBAC shows you everything and you just check boxes and hit uninstall. You can also have a backup of the removed apps, just in case you remove something that breaks something important.

With most third-party UI replacers, you can backup your changes. So my refined Nova Launcher settings transferred my clean UI over flawlessly.
