what a nice price point
This is rpi4 territory.

But I would not recommend the 2GB version. The 4GB versions is barely useful without a swap file on a SSD.

Why not just use ZRam and go headless? There are plenty of good ncurses apps out there.
Note that Zram and ML are not best friends, for a number of reasons.
Maybe 2GB is barely usable (I'll take your word), but the google coral dev board this thread is about is $100 and has 1GB.
The base board for the 2GB version removed the mini PCIE slot, meaning you can’t swap in a cheap drive either.
