Another +1 for KISS, it's such an amazing launcher. I'm actually surprised to see it mentionned so much in this thread.
I have my 5 most used app on top of the search bar and my most used apps (that get automatically sorted by usage) readily accessible. The search feature + tags is so powerful, there's no need to scroll through the apps anymore when looking for something.
As someone thinking of switching to KISS, what is the "tag" feature?
You can add multiple tag to apps (all my games are tagged "game", all my Lemmy apps are tagged "lemmy"). You can then search by tags, just like regular searches.
Very cool!
Only issue I have with KISS is I can't for some reason clear whatever it is that is setting an icon for my PWA for voyager. It shows the updated icon in recents, pixel launcher doesn't have it updated though either which makes it harder to tell if it's the launcher or fennec (Firefox) at fault.
Edit looks like it was kiss. Regenerating icons doesn't work. Clearing data does. I exported settings, cleared data, added pwa, icon changed, imported settings. Only downside is I lost my history.
This launcher is what I loved about the search bar on windows 7. I would just type in the app I wanted and it would open...
