There's no need to wait: the n900 was real Linux (with X, apt-get and anything you could want) as was the n9. If Nokia hadn't scrapped the n9 virtually as soon as it was finished it would be a serious competitor right now.

The experience, speaking as an n9 user who eventually moved to Android, was much more pleasant on the n9. The only problem was limited app selection.

There is a real successor to the N900 called Neo900:

Still in development but some really cool stuff like isolation of the modem.

Did you consider Jolla/Sailfish?
