How to install Micro G on Tab S6 (lemmy.ca)

I just installed Lineage OS on an old Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. Turns out I need MicroG to make one app work (Clip studio Paint). This is my second Lineage install, so while familiar, I am still new to it. Do I have to re install the Lineage fork with Microg found here from scratch? Or is there a way to get MicroG with the existing lineage installed?

i have the microG fork on my S6 Lite and works without issues. if I remember correctly, I did a dirty flash over stock LOS, without wiping data, and all my stuff remained untouched.

one caveat, I haven't upgraded to 23 as I have doubts my old device with just 4 GB will be up to task, still on 22.x. so if you succeed, I'd appreciate a ping-back with your impressions on speed and such.

How would one go about doing this? I can't quite figure that out via the Git hub page. (I'm still in the "needs detailed instructions" zone)

Edit: I figured it out, there's a bloody tutorial 😅

that's a tutorial for fdroid?

anyhow, you flash it the same way you flashed your stock LOS, only you don't do a wipe beforehand; that's called a "dirty" flash. make sure the McG-LOS is same or newer version than your stock LOS.
