I've found it on Reddit today, it's built on PostmarketOS and aims to replicate Blackberry 10 experience. Posting here because it looks much nicer than Phosh and I've never heard of it, despite following mobile linux communities.

So is Android, but people like to get bent all out of shape when you mention it

Yeah technically, and so is ChromeOS, but that's not really what people mean when they say Linux. It's not the Linux kernel specifically that they want, it's usually the freedom and openness.

Oh, so you mean GNU/Linux.

Alpine Linux ticks most of the boxes people want and I don't think that has any gnu tools

People are getting "bent all out of shape" because you're in a Linux phone thread and announcing AksHuaLLy aNDrOid is LInuX.

Do you think that people are suddenly going to be happy with the current state of Android if you repeat that it's Linux based enough times?

See, just like that!

Hmmm I wonder why people would get upset about acting like one of the largest surveillance companies in existence and hobbiest devices designed to evade surveillance are essentially the same?

Look, there's another one!
