You literally just described an Android phone to someone from 2006.

Except Android never became what we expected from it. It restricts what you can do with it.
Agreed. I think to a fairly tech literate person from the early 2000's it would look like an awesome Windows/Linux hybrid. To a sys admin from that time, it would look like a nasty, restrictive ball of crazy. I'm personally really interested in the librem phones because Id love to carry a fully functional Linux box in my pocket, something I could write shell scripts for and run them from simple GUIs.
