As if you needed another reason not to buy Samsung

What good are 5-7 years of updates? If you don't let us repair our phones when we need. Assuming, everything else is fine.

Except the stock OS is unusable and custom roms are not well supported.

I went from years of Pixels to an S22Ultra. The only hard part was that the app drawer is paged instead of scrolling. I just ignore everything Samsung/Bixby and never see it. Seems fine 🤷‍♀️

I hated the page thing, so I've always used Nova to change that. I don't even remember how things all looked and worked under samsungs UI.

Don't use Nova, didn't you hear?

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dangit. What's the replacement then?!

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

KIIS launcher and some others floating, I think Pear launcher maybe for some? Different FOSS options that are decent

Thanks for the recommendations. Both of those look really clean and much better than nova.
