I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

A modern smartphone (good battery, screen, etc.) running an alternative OS (like Linux or OpenBSD) with the ability to run Android (or iOS) apps I unfortunately need to use.

I recently switched to a Pixel 7a with GrapheneOS and while it's nice, I still really hate the locked down nature of Android (and iOS).

Android is based on the Linux kernel tho

[–] dsemy@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

The kernel might be Linux, but the userspace is what makes it Android.
