My phone upgraded and I can’t handle the interface change cos I HATE CHANGE. It’s bad for typical but really bad for me.
Anyone want to share theirs?

I’ve been considering doing that. Which one are you using?
I like Nova launcher, personally.
Nova was my go-to for seriously about a decade. A year ago they changed the terms to broadly cover data they could sell. Like what apps you use, how often, and for how long. Really upsetting and I haven’t found a suitable foss replacement yet. There’s an obsession with “minimal” home launchers in the foss community that I don’t understand, as they all lead to massive frustration for me. I’m currently using fossify launcher, which is buggy as hell on my device. If anyone knows a good foss nova-like home app I’m all ears. Actually, scratch that, I’m desperate.
Have you tried using kvaesito? I have the same gripe as you about minimal launchers and I find kvaesito very aesthetically pleasing. Although, I don’t think I’ve looked through their privacy policy

Correct me if I’m misunderstanding something, but I think you can still control Nova’s permissions through your phone’s App Permissions manager just like any other app. I didn’t allow Nova any permissions even before they were acquired, and I certainly don’t now. Does that help with your very valid privacy concerns?
I resonate with your sentiment against minimal launchers and in favor of FOSS apps. I’ve tried a few and haven’t found any I like.
I’ll try it out!
