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 wish Niagara was FOSS and actually let me costumize my home screen without AI bullshit. I just like my alphabetical list.
I think there are a few now… iirc victoria launcher is one of them.
I believe all of those new launchers (including Victoria) are vibe coded if the OF doesn’t want “aaI bullshit”?
Will check that out, hell yeah, thank you
Grace launcher is also very similar to Niagara.
Wow. This one is great. Thank you!
Minimo launcher is a fantastic foss text based launcher, like Niagara
You have AI bullshit on Niagara? I looked around on mine and dont see it. I’ll uninstall right away if I see it.
Its in their customization options. The built in wallpapers and shit are all AI.
I dont use those, once I see it in the features like AI chatbots its gonna go. Many of the “Ready Made Themes” are the same images that have been in Niagara since it was in beta. So I dont doubt there are AI themes but many in there are older than AI.
