Hey all, Looking forward for any info about OS for tablets? Years ago I had bought Huawei android 5. Was in the drawer for year and now want to give a new life for it. Is there a possibility? I have read that some OS could safe the tablet from throwing it away. I need it for offline use and Bluetooth is necessary.

If it's complex to install LineageOS then you're probably going to have a much worse time with anything else, if there's even anything else compatible. Have a search for the model name to see what there is, but installing custom ROMs on a device that the manufacturers don't want you to is going to involve some hacking and some technical know-how. And if by a "PC OS" you mean something like PostmarketOS, then you can check to see if they support your model, but I'd guess that will involve even more luck, hacking, and technical know-how!
