I've got this huge fancy samsung tablet from 2015. It's made to be like a table top display. Has a mount on the back to keep it standing up.
It can't really do anything now. The android version on it stopped being supported by anything. No youtube or Netflix or nothing. There was a bit of homebrew effort to get root and a newer version of android on them about 4 years ago, but it kind of fizzled out. Now it went from a great portable streaming mini TV (what I used it for, anyhow) to e waste.
Try alternative apps such as NewPipe for YT, they might still run on your outdated android.
Otherwise, there's always LineageOS and other custom ROMs
Sounds like a good prospect to try and get lineage on it. Just need to see if anyone has tried.

ARM linux distros, phone nixes, nothing?
Nope. It's essentially a samsung tablet with about 2014 samsung tablet specs, only way larger screen. They were made more for retail stores to have set up for customers than for consumer sales, almost. Basically, they missed their mark, so not many were sold. Imagine back in 2015. A nexus tablet was like $100. These things were $600. Galaxy View 18.4" tablet.
There was a custom that I had found from like 4 years ago, but when the project stopped it was still left with a lot of issues/bugs.
Praise be to our lord and savior the UEFI Forum, that we might not all meet such a dismal fate.
