I like Nova Launcher. Compact. Flexible. Consistent interface regardless of what craziness Samsung tries to impose. Good gesture customization. Don't need to learn anything new.

I've used Action Launcher for something like a decade now. I love it, because it allows you to use folders with a "default" up. If you click on the folder, it launches the default app for the folder, but if you slide up on it, then you can see all of the apps in the folder to access them.

However, it doesn't work well on my zfold, so I've had to retire it. I'm still looking for a good alternative

Since it's not mentioned, I use Before Launcher to help reduce phone usage. It still has some customization, folders, and a notification filter to block out noise.

Discreet Launcher user here. I wanted something that would remove everything from the main screen and Discreet Launcher was it. I looks nice with Arcticons too.

Nova honestly. Though it looks rather vanilla but its what i live with.

Ruthless launcher! Came from a Pixel to Samsung and can't deal with their UI. Ruthless allows mostly replicating the Pixel look I'm used to.

Probably not very helpful for you on a Pixel, but maybe it helps someone else :)

In a post life I ran LineageOS for quite some time, then happily used the stock launcher through my OnePlus days.

When OnePlus took a turn for the worst, I hopped to LG followed by Samsung (and have been on Samsung Note/Ultra devices since). When I made that switch, I first landed on Lawnchair! A clean, quick, simple AOSP-like launcher that had everything I needed, including a Google feed to the left!

When Lawnchair left active development (it is actively being rebuild, I should check in on it) I looked to re-create the same look and feel on an old on-and-off friend. Today, like many others, I'm on Nova Prime with the Google Feed extension. I have my config saved and backed up, lest I need to restore!

It's simple, and with the muscle memory I have from the AOSP launcher days, I'm resistant to change 🤣

i use evie but evie doesnt exist anymore the playstore thing is a scam
