To run Linux CLI apps, install termux from f-droid and a few of its add-ons. It's nice, you can run sshd on the phone and ssh into it from your computer over USB.
Note that a lot of those older phones are no longer usable as phones, at least in most of the US, because of the 2g and 3g shutdowns and stickiness about LTE/4G. But yeah, they are little tiny computers with cameras and sensors and a screen, etc.
