Help/advice needed.
When on Linux (Mint) wanting to flash /e/OS/ firmware to my Samsung A52s, what should I do?
1. Use Heimdall? It has a GUI - but I'm short of a usefull Heimdall Firmware Pakcage with no experience i making such.
2. Use Odin? The official program from Samsung but without any GUI. Will I be able to handle it from a Command promt?
3. Use JOdin? A GUI for Odin. I should be able to install it on Linux - but as I read it it is no longer officially supported.
As is I tend to choose no. 2.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

@LaBuS I've not done this with a recent Samsung phone; but my recommendation would be to follow the /e/OS instructions for your model and if they are unclear or unhelpful fall back to the lineageOS instructions. Which is what I generally tend to do on a variety of phones.
