I don't believe any Samsung device has fully open source firmware. I assume you mean software seeing as you mention LineageOS?
Yes, of course. I'm not aware of any fully open source tablet that actually works - I got a PineTab2, but it's more like a mini laptop, and the onboard WiFi does not work, which is too bad.
How do you like the PineTab2?
Disappointed. The killer is the lack of a working driver for the onboard WiFi. They say this is a priority, but no checkin on the github page for months. It works tethered to a phone, or with a USB network adapter, but that's not good for my use case. Touch integration in Linux is not really there, and the snap on keyboard is kind of thin and floppy. That said, I have a Quartz board that is excellent. The pine guys have excellent technology, but maybe their manufacturing vendors are better at circuit boards than finished products.
Thx for the reply. I've been waiting years for Pine to become a good option for end-users. I would really like them to be!
