An inexpensive 10" laptop to run Linux.

Netbooks, haven’t seen them in a decade. They were sluggish at best even running linux. The screens were awful. Seriously, I can’t recommend. A refurbished 10” tablet with a bluetooth keyboard would work 10 times better.

You don't really need one that is specifically Linux based, as you can format a windows box to Linux at will. Really any 10" laptop you find on cragslist or ebay should do.

I got a $12 10 inch Asus eeepc 1005ha that I have NetBSD with i3 on and it's perfectly usable, so something similar to that would probably be fine for linux cli stuff as long as a 32 bit cpu is okay

Define cheap. 11" Dell 3140's in new condition with Intel N200 processors, 8GB RAM, wifi, SSD and a decent keyboard have been coming up on Ebay and Woot every few weeks for $170 or so. Debian 12 detects all hardware immediately on installation.

No one is making 10" models. You'd need to buy a used netbook from 2010 to get a 10" screen. Get a normal laptop please.

I use a 2013 macbook air for this kind of thing. It works great!

Yeah, This sounds like the thing.. I really have to limit the cost to "Recycle cans and bottles" money because we (wife and I) recently bought me parts for a mini-ATX workstation ~$500.00 i5 8gb memory and an SSD I already had.

Is coreboot that system where the machine basically boots into a FORTH interpreter that has vocabulary words to read and boot from various media. That would be sweet - Forth is a hoot once you get used to it.

too small, no keyboard - I tried using my phone with a USB keyboard and a OTG adapter and most keys work but for some reason escape did not.
