i’ve been trying to get rid of non-foss garbage as much as possible but i haven’t found anything to replace the microsoft launcher yet, a few good candidates but they were all either underbaked or too unstable to use. Any suggestions?

    I’ve been using lawnchair for such a long time, but one gripe I have is that it seems to be in a perpetual state of “Pre-release” with large gaps between releases.

      Last time I used it, it just worked. I don’t really need updates for my launcher, unless they’re bugfixes.

      I guess it’s not very good if you want a featureful launcher, it’s kind of minimalist and basic. I used to use Nova as my complicated launcher, but these days I don’t know what I’d pick if my built in launcher isn’t up to the task anymore.

        It’s just that they seem to treat pre-release like they’re stable while never actually having a stable release. It’s not really an issue persay, it’s just kinda annoying how they handle release cycles. Pre-releases are supposed to be for experimentation and for finding bugs, not to sit on for months upon years.
