I’ve seen quite a few launchers on F-Droid, but I really fail to see what their advantages over the stock one are. I mean, what can be meaningfully different about arranging apps in a grid? But I guess the existence of so many options goes to show I just don’t get the gist of it.
So what launchers actually provide some interesting features that make it worth switching to them?
I really enjoy Niagra, I installed it three times before it clicked with me. It is also telemetry that I moved away from. I had nova for years but it got slopped.
I think Olauncher is on my tablet and I likeit. Lightweight and foss.
What happened to Nova? I use it and seems to work fine?
It got bought by an ad company. https://www.androidauthority.com/nova-launcher-acquisition-ads-update-3633871/
Ah sh*t
It’s proprietary so it was always bad. The degooglers just realized it when it bit them in the ass, but before then they were promoting it all over the FOSS/degoogle community as one of the good proprietary apps.
