Why does android seemingly require a million launchers?
- onli 8mo agoIt does not require them. It allows them, while also having alternative means of app distribution than the expensive and proprietary app store. You see the signs of a thriving app ecosystem, not a sign of deficiency.
- sh3rl0ck 8mo agoIt doesn't "require" a launcher at all; but the people have the freedom to change theirs. Kinda like MacOS users only have Aqua, whereas Linux has a lot of DEs, the choice of which is entirely handed to the user.
- toast0 8mo agoAndroid without a launcher would be pretty weird. You could use the AOSP launcher, or whatever your phone maker installs instead. I don't, because phone makers seem to really want to push an unremovable search bar that I don't want. And swipe left to see a totally confusing screen I also don't want.
