Switched to from on my phone. Was getting tired of Action Launcher as much as I loved it.

@pkimpton I will have to check that out, I have been using from for my launcher

@nickh it's pretty sweet. Quick too. Supports gestures, one tap for app drawer, hold for launcher settings, etc.

@pkimpton put it on about an hour ago. Super fast!

Trying to change up my launcher every few weeks to make the move to Librem 5 less of a transition for my S.O. and myself. Can't wait for Phosh and other Phone Environments!

@nickh I've had numerous launcher. Action Launcher was my mainstay as I didn't have to keep any icons on home screen. and have a slide out app drawer. Now on this if I could have a transparent draw I'd be 110% happy. :)

@pkimpton Big fan of the transparent drawer. My old main launcher was Nova paid version. Seems like they didn't put new features in it for years, that is a good and bad thing.

@nickh used to use Nova til Action rolled around. Got the paid version seemed to be better. Even had Apex among others. Good/bad who knows.

@pkimpton Apex seems nice, never tried it. Diverse options are always good. I saw people are editing Sway to work on the Librem 5, as a DWM user, I am impressed!

@pkimpton I lhave not tried i3 myself yet, but I used Sway for a while. From what I understand, Sway is a direct port of i3 to Wayland.

@nickh Honestly never heard of Sway. And I thought Wayland was still a myth. Didn't know it finally came out. lol Sometimes it's hard to keep on top of everything.

@pkimpton Gnome is currently running Wayland, and Phosh (Librem 5 Phone environment) is/will have it.

I know screen sharing is hard to impossible to get working in Wayland. When I run meetings, I switch to a x11 based environment because of the issues me/my tools have with screen sharing.
