I got one of those ARM Chromebooks specifically for this (PostMarketOS, no keyboard cover tho) but now it's mostly collecting dust since I have a laptop and just use that. Although someone in the house uses it for watching very legally obtained shows in mpv... though "uses" is a strong word since I basically press all of the buttons for them. Shame it's not getting more use though, as it is about 40x more power efficient than said laptop. Maybe with a USB-C dock that costs 2x more than the thing... My phone also collects dust silently until I need 2fa from it since I don't even have a SIM card.
