content: The problem with this is that, chances are, the hardware will not be manufactured at sufficient scale to be very cheap, and when it initially comes out there will be no OS support for it.  So you'll be paying a very heavy premium for what will probably be inferior hardware (for lack of state-of-the-art production facilities) that does nothing and will do nothing for the foreseeable future.  This also doesn't include the customization that will end up happening to the OS to make it work well on a phone as opposed to a computer so it can do things like, we  ffa  ll, frankly, dial.  These are the kinds of things that need to happen so that people will actually buy enough to make the company remain solvent, because crowdfunding is likely only going to get you so far, even if it gets to the point where actual hardware is produced and sold. Mind you, this would be good, but I just don't see it happening, at least not any time soon.  It's presently a chicken-and-egg problem with anemic chickens and smaller-than-average eggs.  As hardware production gets more flexible there may be more options then, but that's probably a ways off at least. That said...  Let the KDE and GNOME guys worry about the UI. Because they are best at those things.  I think there are a very large number of Linux users who would dispute that assertion.
