I’ll be trying out Hyperion now as default launcher, list of stuff I checked quickly:

Kvaesitso (FLOSS) and AIO: Different style of launcher that I don’t want, so out.

Action: Felt weird to use, didn’t find a setting for auto search in app drawer

Smart launcher: The most expensive one at 25€, and no proper app drawer search either.

Lawnchair (FLOSS): Annoying animations, widgets don’t work properly (many widgets require Yx2 sizing that should work as Yx1)

Octopi: Slightly better widgets than lawnchair, but still sizing issues. Without that I’d probably have gone with it first.

Hyperion: This is what I’ll be testing for now. The only Nova feature I’m missing is showing recently installed apps in the drawer, but that’s extremely minor. Apparently support is bad and updates rare, but neither is an issue for me.

Lawnchair has been good enough for me, get a recent development build, they don't release very often.

I've been having fun with Kvaesitso after it was recommended here. There are some things I'd change, but it's nice.

I highly recommend Octopi launcher. Simple, does exactly what it should. Works great on foldables, as well.
