About to move out from my parents and found the old Remix mini lying around collecting dust. Thought it might be possible to use it as a backup PC for light web surfing and YouTube when I'm back at home. Is that concept possible in 2023? If it is, what should I be prepared for and what to expect?

I carry a Droid 4 (because I like the keyboard) which was running Android 4. Which was absolutely unusable for the web, but alright for ssh, xmpp, and as a camera.

A few weeks ago I replaced android on it with Linux (Maemo Leste) which is... great but also very rough.

I mostly use my phone as a wifi remote to control my computer. That's working much better now than under android.

But the camera doesn't work. Ugh.
