GrapheneOS doesn't support it. If there are no ready-made custom ROMs for it, take a look at Generic System Images (GSI). Due to the lack of cellular modem (I assume), GSI have better compatibility with tablets and should only require:
That said, there's still no guarantee it'll all work out. Feel free to ask for any details. I went through the misery of installing a GSI on my Tab A7 Lite since it had no LineageOS support and all of the existing ROMs were also GSI that didn't really fit my tastes.
Also, you're not alone if XDA forums tutorials are incomprehensible. A good majority assume some level of niche knowledge.
Huh, that makes two of us. Hated every second of dealing with OneUI, back when I got it, GSIs were around but there was no straight forward guide. Now one does exist and oh boy, it feels like a completely different device with LOS and no gapps.
Night and day indeed. With the GSI, it feels like a perfectly fine tablet, even right after using a recent Pixel.
