There were two "pure Linux" PDAs that I fully enjoyed using. [1] Agenda
VR3. It was a joy to use, but had a few downsides: Batteries went down
fast. Even though the PDA was pure Linux, it didn't support Linux on
your PC. Screen was "iffy". And their Marketing wasn't good enough, for
them to stay around. (I still have mine, but the screen is barely
readable).
[2] Sharp Zaurus. Also a joy to use. Unfortunately, I no longer have
the hardware, but I think that there is still a User Community for them.
One of my favorite actions, was to Telnet (local network only!) to them,
so that I get a large, full screen Shell on an "itsy bitsy" PDA.
Good luck on your search!

If either were in current production and available in U.S. I would buy!
I'm attempting to do a "proof of concept" with readily available
Raspberry Pi hardware. Currently selecting components.
If I'm happy with the result I'll investigate the use of Raspberry Pi
Compute Module
{https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/computemodule/datasheets/rpi_DATA_CM_1p0.pdf}
to make something comfortably thin.
