Come on, you again with brilliant ideas :) I can not give you a few lines introduction to the complexity hidden in your idea. But let me try to put it short. To run somethign on a hardware, you need drivers. Most of the OEMs (still) do not provide sufficient information or right to develop drivers ... so you see - you can not just run debian on something that does not work with linux. I give you some homework: Do some research on this topic including nokia N9 and the mer project and other projects from the past (i.e. ubuntu and mozilla). All of them tried to do OS for a phone and were killed - basically failed miserably and no one wanted to use those devices. There are many community efforts to run FSOS on some phones. I am aware of couple of such from the Mer project (Sailfish). Please do some research and try to build up background on the topic. I read exciting discussion with pleasure. So why don't you get yourself a Raspberry with whatever extention you want (i.e. WiFi) and your idea becomes reality with very little effort. You can even have a gui on it - it runs debian just fine. PLS, don't take it personal. I am trying to move you to start reading/researching by yourself before you start asking, well let me say it politely, rhetoric questions. kind regards
