Why I will never buy another Samsung device

For laptops, Lenovo are ... just barely, and only on some product lines, holding that reputation.

System76 and Framework seem to have this reputation. I've yet to buy from them, but they're on my list of potential vendors.

Fairphone, Librem, and Pine, similarly.

I'd look to Louis Rossman for reviews and recommendations.

I like Lenovo, even more since they started native and firmware support for Ubuntu on some of the laptops. When it comes to phones, I think a Pixel running a non-Google Android version seems to be decent. At least my old Pixel 2 is. Not really looking forward to replacing it... But the screen is shot (again... the main reason why I never come to sell a used phone...).

Just for the record:

- I've owned and/or used Thinkpad laptops for over 20 years. Occasional others, including MacBook Air and Dell. Old-school ThinkPad is damned hard to beat.

- In the phone space there's virtually nothing that appeals, with much of that being the technology, carriers, and practice. If I have to carry one ... I probably won't anyway.

- Android is a disaster on numerous fronts. The fact that it's also the best contender running (PinePhone / Librem, please up your game* is ... well, it just is. Based on over a decade of use and multiple devices.
