Is there like a pocket sized computer? (I mean like not a "phone", but something that I can run full desktop OSes and programs on; and I'd love to also have the typical phone camera's and GPS.)

I think Linux phones are a thing? https://itsfoss.com/linux-phones/

Looks cool, but:

I don’t think they can even boot from a USB drive? I’m thinking of using a hardware-encrypted-USB (like ones with a keypad built in), set to read-only mode which I would have the bootloader stored in, and use as a boot drive to make it evil-maid resistant. AFIAK, Devices such as the Pinephones only accept microsd cards for boot (correct me if I’m wrong).
