Is there any way to brute delete stock firmware on a redmi 10c with debian? do you know of any compatible foss OS I could install on this device?

on my last post I wrote device is a redmi 9c. Turns out it's a redmi 10c and the custom ROM I wanted to install https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-13-unofficial-lineageos-20-0-unified-for-redmi-9a-9c-10a-blossom.4609367/ won't work.
Anyhow, to unlock the device the official way I have to identify to their services through a phone line, not internet, and purchase a sim card, which I'm not going to do to experiment with this device.
I have no use for the stock software in the device and I'd rather have anything foss that works or kinda works.
If you ever experimented with this particular model or know what could work, feel free to post an answer.
debian 12.5
Without unlocking the bootloader you're pretty much bust.
Older Redmis allow bootloader unlocking from Developer Options. Then some seller installed malware this way so newer models require you to register as a user.
