Way back in the aughts with the rise of smarphones I was hoping for a modular thing a bit like framework but like a phone that would dock into a laptop body that had more storage and external video card that you could dock into a full kb/mouse/screens setup. I feel we are close but need a real linux phone or mini tablet. honestly kinda hoping for AR to make most of that even unnecessary. then it can just be portable and docked extra power like a type 1 and 2 phaser.
Motorola made it, why didn’t you buy it?

Never even heard of that. I can't tell if it would be useful or not.
The only use case I could imagine, for me, was maybe at Uni when I owned a small laptop and a phone. If the webtop was cheaper and weighed less than my asus.
It’s pretty obvious that it wasn’t useful to most people. They had a few dock able things I recall.
The problem with the OP is that people don’t really need a laptop. When they do, it needs to be better than the phone.
the period from 2010 to 2012 was kinda a tough period for me and also I don't really want any android. I want something I can install any flavor of linux I want on it. I don't really want a phone but I would not mind cellular for internet access.
