I like the variety of hardware available, and the customization available in the software, especially with third party launchers.

I recently started using Niagra Launcher, love the minimal design it has.

I have been using Nova for several years now. I keep it fairly minimal but I like how many options it has.

I used Nova for many years as well, but I switched to Niagara launcher when Nova was acquired by an analytics company.

Curious if Niagra affects phone performance? I love the look of it, but my Pixel 3 is aging.

I haven't noticed performance issues or any battery drain on my S22 Ultra
