I have a Samsung Tablet and Samsung's version for said tablet is a giant mountain of crap, full of bloatware, so I installed LineageOS on it. Also my old phone and my old old phone run LineageOS because I'm just logged in to Google on my {current_phone}.
I ran LineageOS on my Moto X4 for many years. It was much faster without the OEM Moto and carrier apps, and was faster again when I installed it without Google Play Services. Same thing with an old Kindle Fire tablet, finally made it fast enough to practically use.
It's worth mentioning that newer Samsung phones and tablets have an eFuse that is blown when you unlock them. This permanently disables some functionality of their separate secure element (IIRC). If you are planning to run LineageOS forever, it would probably not be a big issue, but if you just want to try a third-party OS or ever resell the device, it could be an issue.
Also note that latest Samsung models like Z Flip 7, along with recent models such as S25 who's gonna get the OneUI 8 update will not allow unlocking anymore.
Can you tell which tablet is that? I'm lurking around and wondering if I should pick Samsung one once iPad battery dies out
Tab A7, old and not worth it even for a low price, too sluggish even with LineageOS but definitely better than stock of course.
