I just want a more modern one of these that runs linux. Is that so much to ask?

I like my planet. They don’t make my model anymore but

Runs android and Linux, allows for multi-boot, and a pleasure to type on. I think the new one has a slide out keyboard, even.

@calcifer The Astro Slide 5G is a delight—a large touchscreen phone with a slide-out Psion-style keyboard—but Planet Computers ran into horrendous manufacturing problems because their ODM (contract factory) went bankrupt in China during lockdown. I own one of the roughly 1600 they eventually shipped, years late. I wish someone with better resources would take them over and build a next-gen machine, but I'm not optimistic.
