I wonder about tablets, are there some where it would be fully feasible to just use a Linux distribution on them, disable all the mobile parts (is there something the OS can do here?) and just using them as conventional computers with USB-C/OTG hubs?
Essentially something that would keep old tablets usable without the dramatic security consequences of outdated Android.
