I am on one ui right now, I dont know if they collect any telemetry. Will it help to pick a minimal one from fdroid?

Also for battery life, would one ui perform better because better optimisiation or debloated foss launcher?

I pretty happy with this: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.eblan.launcher/ It have all i need, also double click to lock screen. No need to use any hardware buttons. Also easy on battery and have enough of customisation.

    "eblan" is supposed to be this guy's name. It is also close to "yeblan" in Slavic languages, meaning "moron". Also, many would transliterate the word lazily to "eblan", anyway.

    When I saw that I sent a screenshot to all of my friends who would get it; some sent it to their friends and some used it as a reaction image for when someone is showing off a stupid setup...

    Just be aware that the double tap to lock feature requires elevated permissions, which may compromise security. Whether or not that matters to you depends on your threat level.
