There seems to be some misinformation here. Plasma Mobile does not require an Android stack. The Nexus 5 example of Plasma Mobile is indeed built on top of an Android (Cyanogenmod) stack, similar to how Sailfish ports use Cyanogenmod for hardware adaptation. If you pick a device which has drivers that only exist for Android, expect it to use Android components. Other ports of Plasma Mobile, including x86 and Raspberry Pi, do not use Android components.

You can run Linux programs on Windows through the Windows Subsystem for linux. I got it working on my HP Pro Tablet 608 G1

That's not "running a GNU/Linux machine". Often times, the point of running Linux (or any other FLOSS) system is to NOT run Windows (or any other CS system).

I realize that, but the functionality is useful.

Also the Windows Subsystem for Linux actually includes a partial copy of Ubuntu with its userland. It is similar to a Chroot.

Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 5 works pretty well (20 hours of battery life with light use) but I haven't been able to get Xmer to work, so once again lack of X11 support defeats me. I'd buy a Pyra in a second, even though I care nothing about games, but who knows when they will actually be available. I've pre-ordered a neo900, but frankly updating 2009 hardware to 2011 specs, at significant cost isn't as attractive as it used to be. Making a portable, battery operated Raspberry Pi doesn't seem to work very well, because Raspberry Pis were optimized for low cost, not low power.

I only need WiFi connectivity, since I can tether off my phone.

I'd happily pay up to $1000.

What am I missing? What's the best n900 replacement, supporting GNU and X11, that's shipping today?
hmmm... nope, still the N900! :P

The Windows Subsystem for Linux is a good solution until we get a real Linux Tablet with decent features such as pen support and decent displays. Windows tablets with the Windows Subsystem for Linux are decent stop gap.
