Root samsung s8 sm g955u snapdragon

I have an old S8+ I haven't used in years I was interested in rooting, but I'm having a really hard time finding reliable information about this particular model. I know that most Snapdragon models have had OEM unlocking removed, and I tried searching old posts on this subreddit and I really can't find any information about it. I don't really care about wiping all my old stuff as this is just a burner secondary phone I don't use anymore.

Can anyone give me any up-to-date info or an XDA forum post in regards to this?

Rooting the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus
