Did you consider the Planet Computers' Gemini? Martin Riddiford who designed the keyboards for the Psion 3 and 5 series did the magic again.

Got mine in 2017 from their Indiegogo launch and as a previous 5mx user in the 90s how could I not?

Sadly they never updated the OS so it's not really much use now. The inability to make some android apps flip to landscape was also a little frustrating.

I have a Gemini too! I still use it sometimes, I just open Termux and use it as a highly portable scratch pad for working on small coding projects.

I wish that the handheld form factor had more options, but it seems that market is just too niche and otherwise dominated by tablets and phones.

The specs say it will boot into Debian. Is that still working?
