I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

A small screen phone with Linux OS that I can plug into a docking station and use it as a desktop pc. It would replace all of my devices.

Roughly 10 years ago Ubuntu was planning an Ubuntu phone which would do just that. I remember backing it on kickstarter, but it never made it to release :/

There is actually a phone that matches how you want it: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/
