Yes, with root access many things are possible.
The “su-Addon” is officially supported under LineageOS and can be flashed quickly and easily via TWRP.
Nevertheless I prefer “Magisk” for root access because it is a systemless root method.
For private use I prefer an unrooted device.
However, this does not mean that Magisk is a delicate and safe solution. Just take a look at why the LineageOS developers hate it: https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/a4rlox/requesting_a_good_explanation_on_why_magisk_is_bad/
On the latest android versions the root rights are manually given to each application separately. It solves some old problems and makes AddonSU looks more attractive then before. You can also hide its presence with iSU.
I don’t hate anything and nobody.
Every user has his favorites.
Where can I find it?
Does it delete or only deactivate unwanted apps?
Are there any risks it negative consequences?

With root access you can delete unwanted apps.
Also know that you risk screwing your device. If unsure then don’t attempt!
hello
uninstall system apps android without root using adb shell comments
It’s easy and useful
this comment
pm uninstall -k --user 0 < and package program name >
for example
if you want delete mail program
pm uninstall -k --user 0 foundation.e.mail
try it
It is exactly what I wanted, thanks!!
I don’t know if it’s because of that but after I uninstalled the torch light app with
pm uninstall -k --user 0 foundation.e.light
and set up some other things, my home screen is only showing me a loading circle.
Has anyone had the same issue ?
I wouldn’t expect a torch app to have such an effect on the OS but maybe I’m wrong.
If system apps are removed, unforeseeable risks are always to be expected. A combination of several changes increases the susceptibility to errors.
What does “and some other things” actually mean?
Have you ever tried how the system behaves if you just remove the e.light app alone?
Well after reflashing /e/ and re-setting up my phone without uninstalling any system app, it seems that was it.
As far as I remember I just installed some apps. I can’t be 100% sure but I did the same setup since then and it works fine.
To be sure one would have to uninstall the torch app on a freshly installed /e/, reboot it and see what happens but I don’t have the time right now.
I’ve already tried step-by-step uninstalling …
foundation.e.blisslauncher
foundation.e.drive
com.android.apps.tag
org.lineageos.openweathermapprovider
foundation.e.weather
org.cyanogenmod.weatherservice
org.cyanogenmod.weather.provider
[org.microg] GmsCore.apk
org.microg.nlp.backend.ichnaea
org.microg.nlp.backend.nominatim
org.microg.gms.droidguard
… without any negative effects on the /e/ OS system. Isn’t that crazy, right?
But you have to ensure that another launcher is installed BEFORE you remove Bliss. Otherwiese your device will not boot 
I didn’t see you removed bliss. My loading issue happened on Bliss so of course we can’t tell whether any of the other apps you uninstalled would’ve messed with it.
Good thing you said mention it. I like the blisslauncher and I use it too. Nevertheless, I always have two alternatives on the device: Senior Launcher and Rootless Pixel Launcher .
@ChameleonScales and @harvey186 please consider, it was a test of curiosity and to gain experience. My deinstallation test is by no means representative. I also don’t know if it would give the same results on another device. I am already looking forward to a stable /e/ version 1.0 with the possibility of uninstalling the pre-installed apps.
What is the difference in adb commands between the following?
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0
vs
adb uninstall --user 0
Are both commands the same? does adb shell pm uninstall actually remove the apk from the phone or just the user profile?
thanks in advance.
Yes @zypper, this is the better place to answer your question than here.
"Are both commands the same? "More or less yes. Maybe I misspelled it for a beginner. But this is not ill-will. It’s just routine. It must be direction and completeness
C:>adb devices

For example: a5y17lte:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 foundation.e.weather
“adb uninstall --user 0” requires that “adb shell” has already been executed. Without having executed “adb shell” at least once, the following commands “adb-commandos” will not work.
adb shell - run remote shell interactively
adb shell <command> - run remote shell command
The command “adb shell” allows to enter the interactive shell.
The (system) apps are not completely removed from the system, but only for the current user via parameter –user 0.

As for uninstalling and delete system apps, you may also delete the apk from system partition (remounting it rw from TWRP).
