Nova launcher - there isn’t a good one for one FOSS replacement. Every launcher I tried from fdroid has at least one shortcoming (if not more).

Thanks for the link. That sounds like exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you.

In that case, any one stop shop on Arch that will search the Arch repo, the AUR, and Flathub?

I like the integration with Timeshift and the into packed interface with ability to click on details. On the downside, the themes are limited and it’s kind of hard to use for browsing apps that you might want to install.

Thanks for the suggestion. After getting some weird behavior with Appimage Launcher and reading this reddit thread, I decided to install pamac-flatpak from the AUR, but plan on leaving AUR dissabled on the app. So far so good. I think it’s a keeper.

Anyone migrate from PlayerPro to a FOSS alternative? (play.google.com)

Looking for a music player that will do a good job of loading album art. It all looks great in PlayerPro, but I tried Auxio and Aplayer but they didn’t do a great job of pulling in the album art. Tracks were also incorrectly lumped together with mixed albums/artists....

Thanks for the recommendations and for sharing your wisdom. I’ll give them a shot.

Lawnchair and Neo Launcher are close seconds but, unfortunately, there is no one for one alternative. Just use a firewall to block Nova’s internet access.

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

I don’t recommend downloading from unofficial distrobution channels without verifying a hash. That said, why doesn’t Exodus give Linux users a PPA? Mac and Windows both have auto updates for the Exodus wallet.
