I just run it as a desktop and boost scaling.

No one in my family has an issue with it, use a years and years old integrated wireless mouse/touchpad and happy days, everything works as you'd expect, you can use it as a regular PC (surprisingly handy sometimes) and I can adblock the crap out of everything/use unhook to decrappify YT.

I happened to have an "old" Thinkpad (T470P, 7700HQ w/ 32GB RAM and the nvidia GPU) I wasn't using so it's left on all the time, runs the TV and serves movies over HTTP for family to watch via VLC (VLC will happily "stream" over HTTP)

One of those easy to do things where I'll never go back :).

With KDE Connect you can use your phone as a touchpad+keyboard. One less thing to get lost in the couch cushions ;)

    I’m forgetful but it’s quite hard to lose an entire keyboard with integrated touch pad down the cushions.
