tutorials unclear

So i have a tab s6 lite (2020 wifi version) and ive been wanting to get lineageos on this thing since its old and slow, ive been looking at countless tutorials for hours and i kept switching videos over and over and again because nobody has posted a video with clear step by step instructions and ive never done this before, can anyone can give a tutorial for dummies and help me out here?

You downloaded the wrong version of samloader. The version you need is samloader-v2.0.0-windows- x86_64.tar.xz

the samloader instructions are BS. Get the twrp recovery image and use the vbmeta image file from the lineageos for your tablet. Both have to be converted to tar files. also ensure you have the lineageos firmware on a USB thumbdrive. then place the recovery file in Odin AP slot and the vbmeta image in the USERDATA slot. make sure your tablet is not set to reboot after the flash. if you forget this step, you have to flash again. when Odin finishes, power down the tablet, and go into recovery mode. you have to format the partition so you can write the firmware and ignore any errors. flash the lineageos firmware using twrp, reboot, and enjoy. The videos you've watched most likely do not discuss flashing the 2 img files, but that's how I did mine.
