From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

if nothing else, if you create a wifi network with a separate VLAN and no internet access, you could use it for Grocy in the kitchen, or for HomeAssistant/openHAB, as a remote controller for Jellyfin or Kodi, or something like that. basically as a touch screen for some internal service.
Strictly with no internet access, though. Make sure to verify it. Maybe also install an app, or write a script that periodically checks this and notifies you if this has changed, not too frequently though to not drain the battery significantly.
The Nock Nock app from F-droid may be good for this with the JavaScript evaluation mode and a simple condition
