This is a bit of a slog, but I have tailscale and rdclient running on an iplay mini 50. I have a SIM card in it, but I am on wifi 95% of the time, and it connects back to my desktop at home running Fedora. Not quite as good as being in front of it, but it's a pretty reliable workflow, and I can switch the same remote session to my laptop if I need more screen size.

Steam and Lutris work well! I can game on XFCE Mint just fine. I actually have an easier time of it than on a number of distros, thanks to the combination of flatpaks and the Ubuntu base. But, I am not "the kids".
I checked, it's still there! (It doesn't append, it overwrites, so no, I just have a file with the current date and time accurate to within two minutes.)
I did the hackiest, lamest thing back in the day... I had my client write the current date and time to a file on the share every two minutes as a Cron job... Kept it working for months! I saw it on a forum somewhere, tried it, and... Shocked Pikachu face I don't know if I ever disabled that Cron job! Haha!
I've had two different unihertz models, and neither of them could stay on any wifi, and both of them dropped calls like crazy. I contacted customer support, and they 'offered' to swap for another exact same phone, if I paid to ship both ways, and I didn't mind having no phone for a month. Jelly 2, and Atom XL. The Atom was especially bad as it has a giant bloody antenna sticking out the top of it, and still no WiFi!
Avoid Unihertz.
Does it give you anything? Can you select safe mode or nomodeset from the grub menu, or do you get no grub menu at all? I almost pulled the trigger on a used getac system a while back, but couldn't justify the cost. If you get it working, please tell me how it goes under Linux!
This is actually a real problem... A lot of digital documents from the 90's and early 2000's are lost forever. Hard drives die over time, and nobody out there has come up with a good way to permanently archive all that stuff.
I am a crazy person, so I have RAID, Ceph, and JBOD in various and sundry forms. Still, drives die.
Commenting to register my interest.
I will confess that I was tempted to throw some snarky comment about Linux, but I got over the urge.
Love my Nextcloud. It's my go-to for half a dozen workflows. Screw OneDrive. Screw Office. Screw Spotify. Screw Airdrop. Screw Netflix. Screw Google Photos. Screw Google Calendar... NextCloud.
I have it on a bit better hardware than a Pi though.
Ditto, except mine just died one day. I put it away for bed, woke up, flipped it open, Nada. Brick. I felt it was a bit slower than I'd like, but got pretty good battery life.
Really tempted to try a Musebook, based on Risc-V, because apparently I'm a sucker for punishment.
Yeah, I did try that. Basically, if I doubled the memory I allocated, I gave it half again longer before it crashed, but it still crashed, eventually.
It's no big deal, this was last year, I may try again one day. Loving Searxng though!

The rook taking pieces was my favorite thing! We had it for the Amiga.
