this is the reason phone selection for me is based on what it supports.
but samsungs are ruled out anyway. their service centers desttoys your phone if you have asserted your ownership of it, their software is way too unnecessarily complicated (not the part you see, but the low level part that complicates the flashing process), and they are generally a garbage company.
oh yeah you have to use their own software to flash but i never had samsung destroyed by them and they killed samsung dex pc app for mac but i think in a few years rom support for my phone will improve and there is also gsi roms you can use
its a relatively recent development. possibly it only applies to when you open it up, replace something inside but even if they are not searching for software modifications, the distinction is very small and you’re not likely to hear it in the news before experiencing it
How is it being a samsung making things worse? I’ve never flashed a samsung phone before so I may be very wrong, but isn’t unlocking the bootloader easy?
And now that I think about, does samsung have their own system file format or something? Is that the issue?
I wish i can degoogle my phone but its a few months old so no rom support and its a samsung :<

oh
Samsung isn’t one of the best for roms. Anyway you could stop using it while you port Lineage OS
Yeah but it might be hard

its bcs they use their own flashing method which got leaked
Omg I completely forgot they had a proprietary flasher, yeah that makes it much worse.
E: wasn’t there an open source implementation called Heimdall?

I Would rather use Heimdall then the leaked odin flasher honestly
