There's no need to wait: the n900 was real Linux (with X, apt-get and anything you could want) as was the n9. If Nokia hadn't scrapped the n9 virtually as soon as it was finished it would be a serious competitor right now.
The experience, speaking as an n9 user who eventually moved to Android, was much more pleasant on the n9. The only problem was limited app selection.
