My power button on my phone now opens Gemini... Every damn time it's bumped.
Press to wake? Oh hello Gemini

I don't even have chrome installed. I use Firefox and Duckduckgo. It in android phones and gsuite products that people have to use for work.You have to go to extreme lengths to uninstall on desktop as outlined in the article, and cannot uninstall or opt out of on android.

Install LineageOS or e/os/ on your phone and bye bye Gemini

I have a Samsung A series, would it work on my phone too?

[dbkblk@lemmy.world]

Which one?
You can check officially supported here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#samsung
But it is possible that yours is unofficially supported. In this case you have to read xda forums.

It looks like I need a pc and use terminal. Shit. Though it was a bit more streamlined.

Unfortunately, yes, but that's not hard. Some Samsung phones have installer for e/os/ (full degooglised).
