Welcome to XDA
If HTC then old timer!

Request helping with understanding the custom ROMs for Note 9 (SM-N960U)

Hey XDA Forums, first time poster but long time reader & custom ROM fan.
A friend gave me an old Note 9 w/ the SnapDragon 845 SoC. Its screen is busted so it's getting serviced under Samsung's $50 program right now. When it gets back I'd like to install a custom ROM on it but I've been lead to believe that working around/through Samsung+Qualcomm devices is generally much more difficult than other phones. My experience is rooting, flashing, and installing Lineage OS or Pixel Experience ROM on some other devices: Pixels, a Xiaomi Mi A1, and two Exynos Galaxy phones (one A5, one M20). All of these devices have very clear, straight forward How Tos by the respective groups that maintain those projects. I had a BLU phone w/ a MediaTek SoC that I bricked because I was just fumbling my way through trying to flash it from some random forums out there.
So, for this Note 9 I'd like to make sure I have the general order of operations correct and what ROM projects (if any) are out there.
1) Make sure phone is updated to Android 10
2) Install TWRP
3) Download ODM.
4) After wipe & factory reset install ODM.
5) Install custom ROM.
If the above is correct, are my only options for reliable ROMs the ones listed in the Note 9 Snapdragon ROMs/Kernels forum? https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-note-9-snapdragon-roms-kernels.8318/
Are there any good/trustworthy Samsung enthusiast forums (hopefully ROM-focused) that anyone is able to point me to?
Thanks a ton everyone, I appreciate your time.

There's a telegram group for S9/Note9 Snapdragon roms/kernels stuff. I can't find it now. I'll share when I found it.

Hi everyone, my name is Renato and i'm from Brazil.

My phone: Samsung Galaxy A13
SM-A135M/DS
I can't find information about my phone.
I want to be able to unlock the bootloader and learn how to install a custom rom.

Hi

I'm some random person that just... does stuff. I'm really interested in technology. I have a Galaxy J7 (rooted, with Lineage and TWRP) and a Galaxy A42 5G (planning to install TWRP), and I'm planning to buy a Google Pixel 4a (for the express purpose of installing GrapheneOS)
