Remove or do not install a SIM. WiFi will continue to work and can be 
turned on and off as you please.

Purchase an Android device designed to be rooted, such as one of the 
Google Nexus range (developer mode unlocks the bootloader). Install a 
cruft-free third-party ROM based on AOSP, for example, CyanogenMod. Note 
that CyanogenMod is currently in transition to LineageOS and many 
services are down.

If you object to installing Google Play services, do not install Open 
GApps. In any case, you can use F-Droid:
https://f-droid.org/

I do not know if there are vendors who will deliver a pre-rooted smartphone.

My Nexus 5X is running CyanogenMod 13.0 (Android 6.0.1 "Marshmallow") on 
Linux 3.10.73.

adb, fastboot, and MTP file transfer work fine on Debian unstable. These 
were sufficient to install and upgrade CyanogenMod.

Kind regards,
