Just because someone was born in Russia does not make them a specific type of person. Nobody chooses where or when they are born. 7-Zip has been for ages, and if something were to happen to it then im sure one of the dozen of forks around will take the role as the “main one”. However you are right, companies desire something predictable, stable. Which is why some companies like SUSE, Red Hat, etc. Manage to sell FOSS. in fact i believe some of these distros include p7zip, and they freeze it to a specific version, security updates and bug fixes are backported.

and decently priced

Sorry but there is nothing decent about an overpriced $1000 phone that costs $200 to make in China.

Many brands are decently priced, but Samsung is not one of them.

Just to add to Alkider’s comment, you do not need to download anything off github, technically just by knowing the id of the app is enough. for example if you want to get rid of com.google.chrome you just need to:

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.chrome

However im sure a script will make it easier for you and probably has a integrated list of useless apps to uninstall in one go. Phone model and brand does not matter, ADB is standard. if it runs android it should work.

I am sorry but this list is… not-good. Includes problematic ROMs (Copperhead OS), dead projects (AOKP), and OEM closed-source ROMs (MIUI)

To anyone out there, my personal recommendation would be: if you own a Google Pixel, go for GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, if you do not have a Pixel phone, try LineageOS and derivates (I am personally running crDroid with microG instead of gapps)
