Microsoft Launcher crashed on my phone, erased all my settings and won't start again. What launcher are you using and why do you recommend it? (lemmy.ml)

I was a Nova Launcher user for many many years, but then Microsoft Launcher came with basically the same features as Nove and a few new killer features, so I moved to it.

But today I woke my phone up and everything was gone. My screens, widgets, folders... And even if I wanted to set everything up again, I can't because Microsoft Launcher won't start.

So... yeah, fun times. Won't be using Microsoft Launcher ever again, even if they fix it.

What are you guys using? And what killer features does you launcher of preference have that make you use it?

The one thing that made me not use the Pixel launcher is that you can only add screens to the right. Even if you disable that stream of clickbait trash they want you to have on the left of your homescreen.

What's the difference between adding a screen to the left and right? Last I recall the Pixel launcher remembers the last used screen so there is nothing really special about the leftmost one.

The thing is that I use a bunch of screens, so I want to have some stuff at the left, some at the right.

But how is having 0 1 2 with 1 being your main screen different than -1 0 1 with 0 being your main screen?
