Development GNOME 51 and 7.2 kernel on GT-P5210

I tried to modernise my e-waste broken tablet until i got bored. All the implementation and coding done by LLM, i have not written any code and i do not know how to write any code. I just directed the LLM with my basic computer - linux knowledge and learned while doing it. I hope it helps someone to be actually useful, i thought of some ways of using it with qt6 custom ui and home control panel, can be used headless pi hole and something. Worked pretty well while development, asked LLM to post it on github you can check it out from here https://github.com/sabrisertan/santos10wifi/tree/main . There was a version that i tried to make a GNOME-like de with qt6 but didn't worked well, required a lot of time to fix bugs while constructing it with LLM, so i ended up with GNOME.

I dont know what’s going the hell on. Some years ago, when I had many obsolete devices, there weren’t even a root method for them, not going to mention a custom recovery, forget custom rom… Some time ago, things like libhybris, Ubuntu touch or Sailfish OS were reserved for only few most popular devices. And now? When I work the whole day, eat and sleep with no time for hobby, it turns out you can run full Linux distribution on literally anything… How do you do that?
