How do you daily drive an Android 5 device in 2023? (lemmy.one)

About to move out from my parents and found the old Remix mini lying around collecting dust. Thought it might be possible to use it as a backup PC for light web surfing and YouTube when I'm back at home. Is that concept possible in 2023? If it is, what should I be prepared for and what to expect?

Thanks for all the advice and feedback! Granted that it's not that secure running an extremely old android system, but in reality the devices will only be turned on for no more than 4 hours a month, I don't think it's a big concern. I think I'd use via for browsing and newpipe for YouTube as they seemed to still support old systems and are relatively light-weight. I'd let you guys know how it went down if possible.
