From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I like the idea of a physical keyboard, but I hate the idea of making my phone even bigger
May I interest you in a mechanical BT kbd? I use the same on my phone (when traveling) and my desktop, great experience.
(model if curious : Corne-ish Zen with my keymap)
You have the potential to be a great seller, but found the wrong customer. That keyboard costs more than my phone lol. I'm from the poorer side of the world, unfortunately.
It's based on FOSS designs, so you can DIY them for far less money.
