I really wish /e/os didn't insist on aesthetically pretending to be iOS. It seems like a lot of effort put into apeing the design language of another companies devices, and to my aesthetic sensibilities it's significantly less appealing than android looks by default.

Edit: I should clarify, the greater accessibility of Google free devices is still super cool

It's just the basic launcher as far as I've noticed and I replaced all android launchers with KISS anyways after Android started copying Apple with that useless overview.

Have you used /e/os? I thought it was like the quick settings panel, notification shade, settings app and other default apps also, but I could be mistaken

I am currently using /e/OS. Beyond the launcher and some settings extras, it's visually pretty identical to Lineage - Pure standard AOSP boredom, no graphical tweaks.

Oh neat! Thanks for correcting me!
