This year?

Agree 100%. This also applies for simple things like calculator apps, calendars, photo galleries, everything.

I remember seeing a list of required permissions and terms of service for the stock calculator app on a xiaomi phone and it was as long as your arm.

Insane.

Personal recommendation for a launcher available on f-droid (I think via the izzyondroid repo, but maybe the default repo because I can’t remember) is thr highly customisable NeoLauncher

Everything just works, it’s very stable and convenient. As someone who used windows for most of my adult life, things are where I expect them to be with the cinammon desktop.

There’s a GUI option for most everything, which makes using it on my HTPC with a remote control a breeze.

Has all the things that made Ubuntu so pervasive in the first place, and strips out the more questionable choices from canonical.

Only thing missing for me with Linux mint cinnamon edition is support for Wayland, because I wish I could run android apps with waydroid more easily. Right now, I’m able to run waydroid successfully and then I’m using weston, but it’s a janky solution at best.

I also worry cinnamon will be left behind if it doesn’t make the switch to Wayland at some stage, because of the progress I’ve been reading about when it comes to things like HDR. But right now that’s not a factor.

Overall it’s an almost perfect distro for me. It’s still relatively light, but has all the convenience a lazy Linux user such as myself could ask for.

Love it.
