FYI: Alternatives to Raspberry Pi for this hobby

Received HP T520 Thin Client with 4 Gb ram and 16 Gb M.2 SSD installed. Dual core amd64 processor.

Win 10 Pro pre-installed, but not activated. Connected a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Booted with Win 10, no issues.

The Win10 Pro has occupied 13.5 Gb of SSD, leaving only 2.5 Gb free. I installed Debian 11.3 amd64 on a 32 Gb USB flash memory stick as hard drive, and booted the Thin Client T520 from this USB flash Stick, by pressing F9 at boot time, then selecting the USB flash memory as boot device.

EDIT:

Will install piaware and dump1090-fa tomorrow, using pre-built packages from here:
