    KISS launcher is FOSS and a bit different, but many ex. Nova users flocked to it after it was bought.

      I was already a long time KISS launcher user after the sale (long time nova user)

      Recently discovered Kvaesitso and I have fully switched! It is just a bit more featureful than KISS while still being very clean and now when people use my phone for something, they can actually find apps too which is nice.

      I never used nova, but I’m so used to KISS now, it’s the first thing I install on a new phone. It’s also funny to lend the phone to someone, because nobody understands it as it’s very different (especially how I set it up).

      Oh wow. I guess I really live under a rock. I honestly did not know it was bought. 😬
