Since I had a bit of time on my hands, I decided to see if there was something that could be done with an old Surface RT. Found instructions for installing Raspberry Pi OS (https[://]i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0825.html), and an accompanying YouTube video (https[://]www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSibzUNiasY)…and with a few minor issues, it worked.
Pretty much everything but Bluetooth is working, though RPi OS does not seem to have an on screen keyboard, so it has to be used as with the keyboard. It is still a low end processor with eMMC memory and just 2GB of RAM, but at least it is now it is sort of usable with the emphasis on “sort of”.
