Despite not being truely FOSS, I really liked Palm's WebOS phones. Linux under the hood, running pulseaudio for sound routing. Basically user accessible out of the box.
Android is "Linux under the hood".
Sure, but the hood is bolted down. You could get shell access on WebOS. The primary app platform was HTML + Javascript, which was very accessible for modifications. You could write shell scripts to do things. -- Chris Irwin email: chris@chrisirwin.ca xmpp: chris@chrisirwin.ca web: https://chrisirwin.ca
