Custom ROM for Android Tablet (lemmy.ca)

Hey, all. I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7, and I would like to install a custom Android ROM on it. After a bit of research, my two options are LineageOS and Murena (aka /e/OS).

Does one have any advantages over the other? Or is it simply a matter of preference?

UPDATE: You will need a machine running Windows 10 or higher in order to successfully flash either ROM!

You shouldn't need Windows to flash it

You need Windows to run Odin. Fastboot doesn't work for Samsung, and Heimdall hasn't been updated for seven years.
