There was a Nokia Linux phone I remember being really excited for and went to demo it in a store. This was maybe 10 years ago.

  That would be the Nokia N900, which used Maemo, a Debian-based distro. It runs PostmarketOS, as well [0]. [0]: https://invidio.us/watch?v=eux9IcB2lfg https://invidio.us/watch?v=eux9IcB2lfg.

    Or the Nokia N9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N9

      His eagerness and excitement at the time could have been more closely related to Nokia N900's novelty (2009), since the N9 was released two years later (2011), and the concept wouldn't be as surprising. That's why I went with the N900 with my guess. In any case, considering both phones flew under almost everyone's radar, you might be right: it could be either one.

      N9 wasn’t much of a “Linux phone”, no more than Android is in terms of experience. The internet tablet line from Nokia 700 through to N900 on the other hand was by all means an “Xorg based” device, though only N900 could make calls(IIRC)

  It was wonderful. It's too bad we had to wait this long for a replacement.
