Is there a good launcher with a newer release than 2022 like neo launcher?

Neo launcher works, I experience no bugs but it feels odd to have such an old launcher running.

Kvaesito is great but follows a slightly different paradigm and neo has "hidden" folders which are amazing

Only because it seems outdated? Aren't we updating apps regularly also because of security issues?

Yeah I'd say that's a very sensible reason to change launcher

not if they don't have any

I mean, neo launcher also has many breaking bugs, eg deleting all your widgets if you change anything at all.

All of the FOSS launchers I have tried are either missing features I use, or are buggy and have no releases in years.

I finally just gave in and got octopi launcher, because at least it has swipe gesture actions on folders, which I got very used to with nova launcher
