Hey all, newbie to the Lemmy, signed up recently.

Also a relative android newbie, I’ve had a pixel 6 for about a year and a half.

I’ve played around with tasker, KWGT, KLWP, and all kinds of other power-user techie apps, so I’m reasonably confident in my ability to tinker with my phone.

I’ve been experimenting with my launcher, having gone with stock pixel launcher for my first half, and then using Lawnchair 12 for the second half, I wanted to try something new.

So, I open the floor up to you guys! What launcher are you using, what do you enjoy, and most importantly, why do you enjoy it? What sets your launcher apart?

    Samsung in particular I think does have font settings but many others don’t. I’m on a pixel 3, and will probably get a zenphone 10 or fariphone next, and I don’t believe any of them have a ROM that supports custom fonts. But certain launchers support them, like lawnchair. I mostly just meant that in regard to their likeliness to add the other niche customization features I need. It seems like a genuinely fantastic launcher, I just really like making stuff and wouldn’t be able to recreate my current setup, which would such given how much time and energy I’ve put into it

    Technically there isn’t a launcher that has all of what I want, even ignoring my desire for it to be open source, since nova doesn’t have font options. But it’s definitely a bit of a bummer I just wouldn’t be able to make the same kinds of stuff if I switched to a FOSS launcher. Which is why I say maybe I’ll switch when I decide to make a totally new setup, but I think I’ll be on this one for a long time, it has a massive number of helpful functional elements that make it easier to manage things like my sleep disorder, and building up all the same functionality again in a totally new design would take ages
