I deleted nova launcher from my device after seeing this: https://lemmy.ca/post/19914345
Can anybody recommend alternatives?
Yeah, that’s a George Carlin quote, and I’m well aware of it. It’s no excuse for dumbing down interfaces like a launcher, or filling it with superfluous features (that coincidentally feed into a corporate clickhole).
Rather than the grim idea that everybody gets an interface the lowest common denominator will grasp, I maintain that everybody deserves a functional, no-bullshit launcher like KISS. It absolutely isn’t what you make it out to be.
I’m not saying everyone needs an iOS circa 2015 interface.
But I am saying something like KISS would never work, because the general public will just outright reject it.
What needs to exist is something in between: something simple and easy to use at stock, but with high customization ability that ranges from novice to advanced users.
Unfortunately, it seems most of the GUI experts work in the private industry and rarely do FOSS.
