GSI LineageOS possible?

Hi,
The G7 Plus is available for € 225.00 for Amazon Prime Day and I am considering getting one. I see that TWRP is available for the device and a current build of LineageOS should be possible through GSI. Does anybody have the GSI port of Lineage running on this device and can comment on how everything runs compared to stock?
I'd be looking to run LineageOS, Magisk and a GCam port - any problems with that?

We currently have builds of LineageOS already, even one being Android 10, although in Beta stages. (Exynos)
"Like LineageOS" there are a couple of roms based off LineageOS, like Havok Rom, if that is what you mean.
If you mean an alternative to LineageOS and stock based roms, then the answer is no.

LineageOS modpunk vs Ivan_Meler

Just curious the difference between these two unofficial Lineage ROMS, both seem to have a good following and run the same Lineage version.

SM-T810 codename?

Hey,
Received an "old" s2 sm-t810 wifi version with Nougat running on it and want to make it usable in the household.
What is my best best? Looking at the devices list I see gts210wifi is not supported but gts210wifi (2016) is.
My questions are:
I am able to verify it is a wifi version (looking at the icons in the slidedown panel) but I am not sure which codename (gts210wifi or gts210wifi) this tablet is. How can I verify? Ideally I don't want to enable wifi on this unsafe (android version 7) tablet and install something from the play store.
Is it correct that gts210vewifi is supported by lineageOS and if so which version can I install on this tablet. How can I verify which is the latest lineageOS version this tablet is able to run?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

I have an SM-T810 and am running Lineage (Android 9) with no problems. The Lineage thread is hers:
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][11] LineageOS 18.1 [T710][T715][T715Y][T810][T815][T815Y]
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS...

@walts thanks for your reply. Good to hear android 9 is running smooth on it.
Question about security/safety regarding custom roms. How do you check if this custom rom is safe to use. I don't want to suggest this rom has been tampered with but I would like to know how and if this can be checked.
If not, I guess building one yourself is the only option?
