PiPhone - A Raspberry Pi based Cellphone

Any thoughts on building your own phone? Recently I had the idea of building my own phone with a Raspberry Pi. I started searching and I found this article where someone had already done this. Unfortunately this article is from 2014 and I can’t find a newer article with a functional phone with SIM card. At some point this guy says he’s running Raspbian. Are there mobile desktops for Debian? Mobian doesn’t look very real.I don’t want Android although Lineage/etc might be acceptable… (Although now I’m thinking of putting Droidian on an old phone…) Anyway does anybody have any info, thoughts, or advice on this? Am I a total idiot for wanting to attempt this?

why not a mobile Hotspot from XYZ carrier and then a purpose built wifi only Linux device /existing Linux phone? I think open phones like fairphone or purism’s device or pine phone exist with more refinement already. doing this seems fine from a tinkering aspect but close to daily driving.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
