What are the most reliable android phones in the US?

I have an s22 and as of yesterday it started boot-looping. It's still some what usable but I think it's on it's last legs. This is frustrating and it don't even feel like I've had it for that long. Are there any android phone available in the US that I won't have to worry about running into this issue or at least not have to worry about it for 10 years?

Android 17 desktop also runs the Linux desktop

Hi,

We make a Debian based desktop distribution that runs as an application on top of any Android device. The only requirement is that the Android device needs to be rooted and use Google's standardized GKI kernel. The latest Android 17 release has excellent support for desktop mode and will be the basis for Googlebook laptops. Here is video of Linux desktop running on an Android 17 phone:

Our latest Linux desktop is now based on Debian Trixie (13.5). You can download a free evaluation version from www.volkspc.org.

How come back in the days (Android 2.3 - Cyanogen mod) I had much more possibilities than today?

I remember that my hotspot would show me all the connected devices and I could manage them. Today, I can't even see how many devices are connected to my Android hotspot.
