I do a little programming, but I am not a programmer by trade.  I came to Emacs by way of one of the two main gateway drugs to Emacs, Org Mode.  Many other academics, writers, and non-technical folks came to Emacs via similar paths. In fact, there is even an emacs-humanities mailing list.

I very rarely recommend Emacs, because very few people nowadays have the patience for the learning curve it takes to master it.  It even took me a few tries over several years (but maybe you are smarter than me, lol!).  But you seem like a smart guy who may appreciate what Emacs is, so I thought I would throw it out there.  Plenty of videos and things on the Internet that should give you an introduction. And the community (mailing lists, IRC, Reddit, etc.) are all quite friendly.

Protocols, not Platforms

For the most Linux-y experience on your Linux phone, try SXMO!

I am (nominally) the Armbian Maintainer for PineBook Pro (although severely lacking in time these days).
