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

So... you like it and have no problems with it, but want to change it anyway?

Only because it seems outdated?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

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
