I keep a couple of old desktops around for odd tasks.  I have one that acts
as a print server and scanning station.  After I scan documents, they're
saved in a network shared folder.  I'm thinking I can get by with using an
SBC to replace it.  It's a 12-13 y/o desktop, and I run some other linux apps
on it such as Guitarix, so I might move it upstairs and re-purpose it again
for music recording and editing.

Another issue is I have not been receiving any hand me down or company throw
out pc's as of late, so what I have in inventory for use is looking more like
a museum collection than pc's that can be re-purposed.  I have a Pi3 and a
Pi4, and have set up a Pine Rock64 sbc for a non-profit to run a marquee
display. Odroid has a new board that looks like an interesting alternative to
a Pi4.
