I've got an A310 in my parents' garage
They were shittier than the Nimbuseses though, I seem to recall. Mine had a dodgy sound podule so kept making fart sounds. No joke.

I do wonder if I could get ArcLinux working on it, though…

Arc Linux just about runs.
I've still got a modded A440 c/w SCSI + ethernet, ARM3 + VIDC enhancer. Luckily my then employer bought it for me and upgraded it over the years for me. For its time, it wasn't too bad, but they should have bought me the R260 to donk with.
Last time I powered it up, it offered RISC/OS3.1 or Acorns slobberingly shit version of Unix.
After much fannying about, I got a shell prompt, thought fuck it and put it back in the loft. The big PITA on that class of Arc is the useless floppy disc drive.
Linux on a RiscPC or later is not too bad, but compared to even a low end Pentium is shit slow.

The A310 has RiscOS 2 ROMs, not 3. That might be a good start.
