I’m curious, as well, what Linux flavor you’re planning to use. I’ve been considering loading Maru¹ on to an old Nexus 5X, and I wonder if that’s what you have planned, too.

There’s just something about running LineageOS on an old Galaxy Tab 2 (still Android, although apparently the hardware support is phenomenal) that has me trawling eBay for cheap tablets.

Well, I'm undecided. Since I'm beginning the process of shifting my machines from Linux to BSD, my inclination is to use BSD if I can. If there's a showstopper there, then I'll go with Debian.

Same for a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 for me. Works very well though I believe LineageOS has abandoned updates for the device. Battery replacements take minutes to do as well.

Purism and Pine are looking interesting.
