I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

People need to stop wanking over specs for a device that'll be used 99% of the time to send text messages and watch YouTube videos

What do you need on a phone that takes 8gb+ ram?

To connect it to a dock station and have a full desktop experience. That is my use case

Well Jolla phones run Sailfish OS which doesn't support this anyway so probably not the phone you should be buying (And the phone supporting Sailfish OS doesn't suggest at all that it'll be able to run a "regular" Linux distribution either)

That is the dream :') a phone running linux with desktop capabilities
