Lawnchair is a pretty good FOSS launcher.

    Can confirm. I switched from Nova Launcher a year+ ago. I haven't noticed any downgrade. Lawnchair feels cleaner, better.

    I guess proprietary software has no option but enshittification once an open source alternative exists. The proprietary product becomes strictly for chumps, so they make it a full on scam.

    Do you know if Lawnchair can do a splitscreen with two apps? I got a new phone with lawnchair and I couldn't figure out how to do it the other day. I know it used to be a part of Android. I don't know if it's part of the OS, the launcher, or Google just decided to remove the feature.

    I'm not sure if this is even launcher dependant thing? I'm on pixel 9 pro, using lawnchair myself.

    In your open app-selector, you should have drop-down to start split screen mode.

    God bless. I didn't even see the drop down. My old Samsung and LG didn't do it that way. And of course searching on the internet for the solution yielded jack because everyone has enshitittfied their search engines. Thank you kind stranger.
