I turned my streaming stick into a dumb app launcher, and that's all it should be

I've been using Flauncher as the replacement dash for years on all my android TVs and Chromecasts
https://gitlab.com/flauncher/flauncher
It makes a massive difference and I strongly recommend it
What do you see that makes a difference? Lack of ads or is performance also better?
No ads, better performance, customizable
I also tried Projectivy in the past but I don't remember why I switched away from it. I think there was a performance bug that was causing it to crash. Both may be good options now
I can also recommend Wolf Launcher. Been using it for years.
