I'd trade down that desktop into an old Thinkpad circa T430 era, which you can get for less than $150 and slap Debian onto. If you need more processor for something, rent it from the cloud and work through ssh (or set up a VPN.) With that, a cellphone, and wifi, you actually can work from your car. Certainly from a coffee shop.
