Here is the heart of the article. Thanks to the XDA community, you are not stuck with Android 8.0.
Before diving into XDA threads, it is crucial to distinguish your device. The SM-T580 is the variant of the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016). There is a sibling model, the SM-T585, which includes 4G LTE.
On the XDA forums, the "Knox Trip" is a rite of passage. When you unlock the bootloader or root the SM-T580, the Samsung Knox counter trips to 0x1 . This is permanent. It cannot be reset. For the SM-T580, this primarily voids the warranty (likely expired by now) and disables Samsung Pay and Secure Folder. For most users looking to install custom ROMs, this is an acceptable trade-off.
