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?


Any specific suggestions for Nvidia Shield TV? The regular one is being progressively enshittified. I need something basic open source, but not too ugly looking.
I use ProjectIvy but it isn’t listed in F-Droid. There have the APK on GitHub: https://github.com/spocky/miproja1/releases
Luncher looks promising but I haven’t used it yet: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.luncher.launcher
ProjectIvy looks good, and I can even install it from Google Play directly. Thanks.
