Possibly older people and people with very specific use cases (like I did a few days ago).

My "meditation" is singing along musics from power metal, symphonic metal, etc., specially the extra cheesy ones, like Blood of Bannockburn (by Sabaton), Keeper of the Celestial Flame of Abernethy (by Gloryhammer), The Phoenix (by Fall Out Boy), Defenders of Gaia (by Rhapsody of Fire), Venom of Venus (by Powerwolf), etc. Helps me with dealing with situations of pent-up stress.
First, I'd suggest flashing a community system ROM. OEM systems are both very bloated, and stop being supported much earlier than community ones, so they're not ideal unless you need to use it with some banking app or the sort. And if you don't need Google's services (de-Google, anyone?), I strongly recommend going for a vanilla system instead of a Gapps one.
Now, as stated in MargotRobbie's comment, one good use is as a media player. If you can sideload stuff like VLC and Librera Reader, you should be covered.
You can also use it for some lighter gaming, if that's your thing, as there's plenty of emulators, wrappers and engine implementations for Android.
You can also use it for running servers, if you do this sort of stuff.
And if you like to test around with softwares, a spare Android device is pretty good to have.
One Piece, maybe? Pretty upbeat overall. Also One Punch Man.
Can't remember much now, as it's been well over a decade, nearing two, but what I do remember is that, when I was a kid, I had read "Raptor Red" that was lying in a shelf from my home, and I found it great.
Final Fantasy II is a good game. Yes, plot sux, but it's a NES game that was never remade on that aspect, so it gets a pass. But for people like me, who either (or both) like to powerlevel, and find enjoyment in abusing game mechanics and oversights, it's a banquet, specially the PSP version and the now-delisted OG Android and iOS versions.
Got a gaming laptop some months ago, and it is actually very powerful indeed. But it came with Win11 by default, only requiring the final setup. Now... How can a system lag a decent laptop so much.
Needless to say, it didn't take much for me to decide to swap for good ol' Mint Xfce, and even try out a few other Linux systems, and now, pretty much everything runs flawlessly, at most requiring to avoid using the ultra settings.
But indeed, Windows is bloat incarnated, and it only gets worse. So much so it even feels like Win10 on a VM can clog the whole system. Weird how that doesn't happen with Win7, no matter how long I leave it open on a VM.
Unsure what are those acronyms, but one text-only Linux program I can't recommend enough is ncdu: it helps managing storage in your system, as well as, indirectly, browsing your files.
No meu notebook antigo, Ubuntu demorava pelo menos 5 minutos para iniciar. Eu literalmente deixava ligando e ia fazer alguma outra coisa. Já com Xubuntu e Mint Xfce na mesma máquina, esse valor consistentemente caia para 1 minuto a 1 minuto e 20 segundos.
Achei que "i3" fosse de "Intel i3"... e.e"

No demo that I can see, though.
