  • Same. I’ve been attempting to de-Google and stick with FOSS where possible, but only Lawnchair has come close to Nova Launcher, but it’s not without its limitations like setting a primary home screen, and better widget padding and removing round corners.

    I’m still experimenting with others, but many are no longer under active development either.




  • I tried it and was underwhelmed, but also overwhelmed.

    I love the idea of choosing everything I want, but Arch also meant the pain of learning to install everything I actually need first.

    Is there a minimalistic distro that installs all just the essentials (drivers, services like DHCP, a package manager, desktop GUI), and then I choose from there?

    Is there a reason to actually like them?

    They have an edge with compatibility between all their own products?

    UI is ok, but not customizable.

    Super expensive compared to alternatives. Upgrades are expensive.

    Lack of options and customizability; for a company that spouts “think different”, there certainly not a huge difference in design & choice.

    Walled garden.

    Poor design, cheap components, against right to repair (check out Louis Rossmann YouTube channel). They gaslight their customers.
