Lineage is a popular choice, see if your device is supported.

iodéOS supports some of the older Samsung devices (9 and 10 S and Note series). Unfortunately there are not many options if you have a newer Samsung.
Don't think you can unlock the bootloaders on Samsung devices, so not really possible
Most you can do to make it privacy friendlier (still not private) is to disable/uninstall app the bloat until you get to the minimum required apps, try to replace as many apps and you can with fdroid equivalents, and add an adblocking firewall. Settings your private DNS to dns.adguard-dns.com could probably help too.

If you are able to OEM unlock, you probably can flash a ROM of your choosing. Now find a rom that is compatible with your device.
As other have said, calyx, or lineage are good options. but if there are unofficial they are likely to have security vulnerabilities. If thats not a deal breaker for you than try it out.
Ps make sure you have a usb 2.0 or newer. a cheap usb 1.0 will not work.
Get adb and fastboot.
Let me know how it goes!
What is your phone model?
