Sort of... I have a bare-bones system which is based on a Pi Zero W (single core) and runs Debian Buster. It has 512Mb memory of which around 60Mb is actually used. Everything is TUI based and I can multitask by starting up Tmux and running (strolling!) my usual apps. I use it mainly as a Lite Laptop and just plug it into the nearest HDMI screen. I use a spare cellphone for Internet and I can also plug a small USB hub into it which gives me expansion options including USB memory stick, Yubikey and ethernet for my home network. There's a lot of great, resource-frugal software out there and it's been great fun to set up.
Edit: the biggest PITA has been Bluetooth. I was occasionally able to connect and pair, but not always. I eventually uninstalled everything --blue-- and hve not regretted it. I now use a cheapo WiFi keyboard to do the initial login.
