Right now I’m using the default e/OS launcher of Fairphone 6, but wanted more options to clean up icons and set colors to desktop. I might try the Dragon launcher on FDroid.

Is there any android launcher without app drawer like iOS ?
Hex Launcher: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.mrmannwood.hexlauncher
Pie Launcher: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.markusfisch.android.pielauncher
Similar approach in both of these
I am surprised no one has mentioned KISS yet. A much simpler approach to launching Android apps, by typing what you want

I use stock launcher, before I liked to use Niagara Launcher but since my subscription expired and I didn’t renewed it I just use stock launchers now.
It’s not my favourite but it respects my privacy - the stock launcher that comes with GrapheneOS.
Same, haven’t felt the need to replace it. Basic but works great.

Lawnchair best
Kvaesitso. It’s the only FOSS app I found that supports folders within the drawer. Well, at least it was the closest thing to it; You can select a tag and apps with that tag is shown to you. I really don’t like how most launchers treats app drawer like a app dump. I miss the folder feature in Nova launcher.
I switched to Lawnchair a couple months ago from Nova Launcher, it took a couple hours to set things up as I like them and I never touched the settings again afterwards. Highly recommended
I don’t know about setting colors, but I’m using Lawnchair because it can have folders in the bottom applicatons strip
I really like Fast Draw. I’ve been having a problem with it in that every once in a while it’ll just freeze. Þe author has offered to help, but þere’s noþing I can do on Android to provide more information for debugging; it happens at random. Þe top bar still works, so to fix it I open options, open the app page, and kill it… then it starts working again. It’s annoying, but not enough to make me stop using it after all þe oþer launchers I’ve tried.
It’s small, which is one þing I really love about it. 11MB, in a world where stmps calculators can take up hundreds of MB.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is a launcher? What is wrong with starting apps from the home screen?
A launcher is the home screen. You can replace the default with something else
ADW Launcher Ex 1… not foss but it just worked for me for the last 10+ years
Out there opinion but I really like all of the simple text launchers In no particular order : Cclauncher https://f-droid.org/packages/app.cclauncher/
Clauncher https://f-droid.org/packages/app.clauncher/
Multi launcher https://f-droid.org/packages/app.mlauncher/
T-UI https://f-droid.org/packages/ohi.andre.consolelauncher/
