You could use that machine as your home server. It would open up a lot of possibilities. Sync your phone contacts and calendars, backup all your systems, store/stream media, host your own clousldserver, your own Internet messenger server for family and friends (snikket for example). Host a Minecraft server for the little ones or whatever comes to mind.

That's what I do. I bought a thin client last year, because Raspberry Pi 4s were unavailable to me. So I (fortunately) bought a thin client and got into Proxmox. I have the following containers running on the machine (that i can think of right now):
- Nextcloud (files, notes, contacts, calendars)
- Jellyfin (media streaming)
- Pi hole
- docker host (with home assistant, traefik as reverse proxy for everything, anything else i want lol)
- gitlab instance and kubernetes cluster (implemented in three containers, which is just for learning purposes)
Edit: some of the thing i want to do in the future:
- paperless-ngx (server that a scanner can send files to so your pc doesn't have to be powered on i believe)
- actual budget (budgeting)
- mediawiki / kiwix (hosting wikipedia dumps)
- some other dashboard than heimdall for links to all my services
- a vpn i can log into from outside of my home network (used to have pivpn on my spare raspberry pi, but want to have it as a container)
Hope i got you some ideas (:
