I got a job to be able to buy one. After this I will only buy some needed parts to rebuild my desktop, no more major purchases after that.

Odd. I thought Android supported Ext4 as well. A few years back they wanted to remove it (why??) but public outcry changed their minds. Did they sneak this anti-feature back in, with a newer Android feature?
And ExFat is not included in Android 7.1 @ Gemini.

Or am I wrong on this, and is there a solution for this? (apart from linking up some external BT pointing device)
Touchscreen as touchpad - relative mouse input
that works very well, all the 6" inch screen is a large touchpad, with some gestures working as right mouse click, etc.
And USB-C->USB-A cable with USB mouse works very well on Android 7.1 and Debian @ Gemini.

After using Arch for years without a reinstall, I switched shortly after they dropped 32bit (another reason for looking to replace the Eee) to Debian Sid. After going Original (Xandros based), Fedora, Debian, Arch and now Sid over the years, I'm quite liking Debian so that would probably be the direction I'd take.
Might have to look into 3G/4G progress/patches before making a decision
