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 switched from Nova to Kvaesitso when I found out they were owned by a spyware corp. It takes a little getting used to as it does most things differently, but it's actually good once you get past that.

I still use Nova, however, I use AFWall+ to deny internet access to it. As well, as give it as little permissions as necessary.
