I have a Planet Computers Gemini, which is a reinterpretation of the Psion Series 5, running Android but you can also install Linux. They have new models since, but I've heard reports the company is not honoring orders, so caveat emptor.
Another option would be one of the GPD Pocket mini-laptops, they actually ship with Ubuntu. I'd gotten one of the older models, but the screen was just too small for my tired eyes:

- wkat4242 2y agoThe Gemini build quality also left a lot to be desired. As well as the software. I liked the idea but I sold it in the end.
- fmajid 2y agoUpdating the software is certainly a pain. I switched to Linux than went back to Android. Can't say I noticed any hardware defects other than the usual delicateness of mobile devices, but I am generally careful with my devices (the only person I know who doesn't fray Apple's inadequate cales...), so it hasn't mattered as much as the simple fact the Gemini doesn't have a lot of utility with my aging eyes. I really need at least 12".
- eadmund 2y agoThe Gemini looks really neat, but is there any way to generate a Super key event with that keyboard? > I've heard reports the company is not honoring orders Due to the Christmas sale, or in general?
- fmajid 2y agoI don't know any more than that, vague recollections of people complaining about them on Reddit, and thought I would be remiss not to mention them.
