Excuse my ignorance, but what is a launcher? What is wrong with starting apps from the home screen?
Adding to the other comment. You can install more than one launcher and try them out. You select which is your default launcher in the settings. Nova launcher was a great launcher that was highly customisable and many here had it and likely the paid premium version. Then it got bought out and enshittified. Lawnchair is an open source alternative that many like.
A launcher is the home screen. You can replace the default with something else
