Build LineageOS from source for Samsung SM-A500FU ?

Hi,
I'm a seasoned Linux user, but I'm relatively new to the world of free operating systems on smartphones. A couple weeks ago I bought an old Samsung Galaxy A5 (SM-A500FU) just for fiddling with LineageOS.
I spent about a week experimenting a lot and taking notes about ADB, Heimdall, TWRP, flashing ZIP files, etc. I found out that unfortunately LineageOS isn't officially supported for this phone. On the other hand, I managed to install a custom (unsupported) version of LineageOS on this phone:
lineage-16_a5_releases/README.md at master · DeadSquirrel01/lineage-16_a5_releases
lineageos 16 releases for Galaxy A5 SM-A500FU. Contribute to DeadSquirrel01/lineage-16_a5_releases development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
So much for a successful first experience.
Here's a very general question. Since there is no official LineageOS ROM available for my phone (as far as I understand the platform is a5lte), can I build a recent version of LineageOS from source for my specific device? Is this a more or less trivial task (like building LineageOS from source for an officially supported device) or will I have to jump through a series of burning loops?
Cheers from Austria,
Niki

Let's hope for one (or more) good custom kernels

Which version is best? (poll)

Please tell me if I'm missing any! thanks

I am loving the Unofficial 20. Although that speaks more to features and overall performance. Not sure what is "Best"
