I work in tech repair and a returning customer gave me his old Glaxay Tab E (I briefly mentioned looking for a cheap tablet) I didn’t question it I was just grateful.

I run a plex plus some other monitoring tools and enjoy my retro games. what should I do with this old tablet to make it the best game/show watching device I can? It’s old yes but for some basic/retro games and watching a show in 720p it’s more then alright. Should I install a new OS or what, I’ve never messed with mobile OSes before.

I want to settup a syncthing so transcodes from my pc can be auto-sent to the device for offline use and I want to be able to play my ROMs and some older games (like the angry birds’ bad piggies). Is there any softwares for android I should checkout with this device too (despite it’s age?)

Manga has also been a big idea but there’s the Megathread for that ig, open to suggestions though as I’m mainly linux/apple user. This is my first android device I get to tinker with.

TL;DR: What fun can I have with an old samsung tablet and what are some fun apps/projects to install on it?

edit: I did install a 256GB sd card too so there’s some space

edit2: It’s a Galaxy Tab E I’m dumb.
