    You should try Raspberry Pi Desktop because xinput-calibrator will allow your touch screen to work. On other distros you need an older touch screen kernel module for it to work right.

    The scan engine built into the CF-UH1 looks like an Intermec EA11 imager, that means it would be connected via an internal serial interface. With a camera software that can control serial cameras, you won't be able to read barcodes, but it should be possible to take blurry black and white photos. Just in case you wanted another fun (or stressful) side project

      as far as i know, here's a list of linux distros that are still available for x86:
      [ ✓ means "tried it"]
      • Debian ✓
      • arch x32 (I forgot how it's called)
      • Alpine Linux ✓

    SDR receiver in the USB port and (if it does not melt) use the touch screen to browse the waterfall and pick and decode/display interesting stuff: FM radio stations, ADSB plane transponders, analog camera streams ...
    Also, there are graphical tools to calibrate the touchscreen under linux.

    You would have better results with the desktop and apps if you set it to run a bit lighter... Disable window compositing effects. Disable show window contents while dragging. Etc.
    These tips apply to nearly all DE's, and even M$ Windows.
    You could also easily switch from a full Desktop Environment to install a classic Window Manager instead... IceWM or Fluxbox, etc.
    Or switch to an even lighter weight distro entirely.... AntiX runs lighter than Kali... and DSL runs even lighter than AntiX.
    They are all still Debian based, so you still get that APT and .deb support.
    And of course there is always Puppy.

    Well, obviously it would make a good portable dumb terminal ; it's got a serial port after all. With level shifters on raspberry pi's uarts, you could connect to their serial console. And it's a X-terminal. (None of that modern web-browser rubbish.) The barcode reader (if fitted) could be entertaining for getting addresses for racked equipment. Let alone walking round a store scanning barcodes like a boss.
