Think thin-client. I do on-call duty often, having entire smartphone screen available for terminal/remote desktop plus hw keyboard is priceless. No need to carry a laptop everywhere I go, esp. outdoor and during trips.
My current emergency set: stock Android phone (with OTG), Termux, VPN client, RDP client, cheap lap phone stand with USB keyboard which I keep in my car. I also keep my own jumpbox servers with software required by employer/customer, which is not easily installable on phone without quirks.
My todo: check some Dex dongle with HDMI to use hotel TV as external screen; figure out if I can cast phone screen onto car's screen with Mirrorlink.
