Right now I’m using the default e/OS launcher of Fairphone 6, but wanted more options to clean up icons and set colors to desktop. I might try the Dragon launcher on FDroid.

Kvaesitso. It’s the only FOSS app I found that supports folders within the drawer. Well, at least it was the closest thing to it; You can select a tag and apps with that tag is shown to you. I really don’t like how most launchers treats app drawer like a app dump. I miss the folder feature in Nova launcher.

A list of all apps in alphabetical order accessed usually from the lower part of the screen (either by swiping up or by clicking on an specialized button on the lower bar aka dock).

i second kvaesisto it simplifies your app usage, i can never go back to the old way

It’s not my favourite but it respects my privacy - the stock launcher that comes with GrapheneOS.
I am surprised no one has mentioned KISS yet. A much simpler approach to launching Android apps, by typing what you want

I have never seen a FOSS Launcher that interests me as much as the default ones on ROMs like LineageOS or GrapheneOS.
I always find them visually outdated or functionally not as good. And I’m not interested in the minimal ones (which is a good part of them). - 2 months
Excuse my ignorance, but what is a launcher? What is wrong with starting apps from the home screen?

A launcher is the home screen. You can replace the default with something else

Adding to the other comment. You can install more than one launcher and try them out. You select which is your default launcher in the settings. Nova launcher was a great launcher that was highly customisable and many here had it and likely the paid premium version. Then it got bought out and enshittified. Lawnchair is an open source alternative that many like.

How’d it get enshittified? Last I used it, it was essentially the same ol’ reliable one, but some things randomly break when you switch the launcher on HyperOS.

I use stock launcher, before I liked to use Niagara Launcher but since my subscription expired and I didn’t renewed it I just use stock launchers now.

I switched to Lawnchair a couple months ago from Nova Launcher, it took a couple hours to set things up as I like them and I never touched the settings again afterwards. Highly recommended

Lawnchair Nightly; it’s not as good as Nova, yet, but it’s getting there.

Is nightly different? I thought lawnchair didn’t make apks available outside of play store while claiming to be open source?

Yeah i saw it’s releasing some updates. But it’s the old version that lacks quite a few features compared to v2. And v2 is not open source.
But I thought v1 was dead, good to see active development on it.

Not sure what the deal with a v2 is, as far I can find I have the latest version (15 beta 2). Can’t find any reference to a separate version, beside a dead github page for v1 and a second website that appears to be an older version of the app.
I downloaded the play store version, and it was the same version number as Izzy. At a quick glance it looked the same.

Happy with Fossify Launcher replacing the auto-arranging stock launcher.
