Exactly. When I say I want a Linux phone all I get are Android options. What I want is a GNU/Linux phone that I can run full Linux distros on.

Alpine or PostmarketOS works for older stuff. Some others will run Ubuntu as well.

Instead of "Linux on [phone]" try using Debian/Ubuntu or one of the mobile-targeting distros as a keyword

Alpine

Alpine is also arguably not "GNU/Linux", as it doesn't use GNU Core Utils or glibc. But I don't know anyone who would suggest that Alpine isn't "proper Linux".
