No worries. I have three at the moment ( just donated two Asus Chromebooks from 2015 ).
- Samsung XE310XBA - HP X360 - Lenovo 10e tablet All three have the Linux Development Environment enabled that runs Debian 11. They all have Docker installed[1]. And only the Lenovo does not have VSCode installed ( haven't taken the time to modify my code to handle ARM )[2].
