Nova Launcher Alternative? (lemmy.ml)

I've been just not updating Nova as I haven't had a ton of time to research this, I really like the GUI, what are my privacy friendly/FOSS options for an android s21 5G?

Update: Went with Neo launcher. It's got enough of the features that I'm willing to use it.

There are a few spots where padding can't be removed that is obnoxious, FF search bar and dock are what I have noticed so far.

I also don't like that I can't continuosly scroll through my home screens.

I swapped from Nova Launcher to KISS. It is a different idea for a launcher but I have started to like it a lot.

Same. I felt I couldn't live without Nova, now I feel like I can't live without KISS. I really like the "swipe and type" flow to open an app and touching an empty area to open the recent entries. All that depends on your settings ofc. It's not the prettiest, but it's by far the fastest launcher I've had.
