M31 and NGC891 have somewhat richer halos to the MW
Other disks also have limited neutral halo gas

Studying the truly hot halo (in X-rays) is very, very hard

Gaseous Galaxy Halos are big (cool, warm, warm-hot, and) hot messes Halo kinematics signatures are easier to study than thermodynamic states The halo does seem to be aware of the feedback state of the disk, on many scales
