Is open launcher safe to use? It hasn't been updated in a while

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh good point, thanks for the heads up. I see that the last release was a few years ago and there are a lot of open issues. I haven't had too many problems with it, but a launcher is something you don't want to have security vulnerabilities for. Will look around for an alternative

Glad I could help! I'm personally using Kvaesitso but nova launcher is neat too.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kvaesitso is pretty slick! I just tried it for a bit, and it looks well-written. I like having all my icons shrunk down and compressed on my desktop, so it's not quite what I'm looking for, but I tried Discreet Launcher after your comment and was able to configure it pretty well to my liking. Still missing some features that I like from OpenLauncher but it has what I need

Oh nice! I might try out Discreet Launcher now just to see what it's like lol
