Here you go pal
Although it’s a shame they don’t have a vanilla variant for your phone model
Few advices before you start:
Before unlocking your bootloader be sure to logout from all your account esspecialy google ( otherwise you might get locked out from your device )
The unlocking process can be a bitch ( The process has a Wait time. )
Before all that be sure to download your original rom ( also known as R_vendor ) and twrp for your specific device model
Also note that flashing your rom can be stressful and (in case something went wrong) It might require some time to fix everything up.
Do I still recommend it? Yes.
Edit: if you are locking for a guide i recomend this one
sayonara is very useful for those who have a large offline library

Lol
This like watching a pheonix reporn from the ashes
so no restrictions on toner brand? and what about automatic updates do i have an option to opt out ?
the reason i don’t want to install drivers is the automatic forced updates, you know the kind that HP does to break their printer, i have got into linux to get away from that shit not to go back to it
am i not missing anything from the higher priced ones besides apps and wifi ?
Your phone has a snapdragon which is very popular chip to make ROM for but generally hard to unlock unofficially -not impossible though it’s possible there is a workaround by now for your specific chip - on the flip side mediatek devices are less popular due to them refusing to provide the source code but to their partners. however they are well-known to be easy to unofficially unlock due to some vulnerability -in the bootloader- that they refuse to patch.
I did a leap of faith and I unlocked my phone unofficially (mediatek) but if you decide to flip that coin think hard about it and make sure you are well informed (like using your specific phone code name instead of brand name ex: instead of redmi 9 say “lancelot”)
