Is an old raspberry pi useful for anything based on Linux?

You can certainly install some Linux on it (Raspian is Linux) and then just tinker around. Check how much RAM it actually has and see which apps work on it.
I'll have to check out the ram. I know it boots and network and hdmi work but will have to dig out a spare keyboard to try to log in and see what it can do
Just I'd enable ssh asap so you don't have to connect all that stuff permanently. There's a way to modify the boot SD card so Raspian comes up with Wi-Fi/network and ssh enabled iirc, so you don't need to connect anything but a power cable
yeah, it's a setting in the official rpi imager nowadays
