Damn, will try this one !

You can buy the SMS verification for Telegram on sites likes smspool.net using crypt I currencies such as Bitcoin or Monero.

If you don’t install software made from people that are not align with your ethics there are probably more than just brave.

There is a couple of guide such as this one: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1402380-ultimate-samsung-oneui-debloat-privacy-customization-guide/

I founded it but I have a Nobara Lutris and it can’t find it :(
