I replaced my Samsung home screen with a TV launcher; my phone finally feels calm

A user replaced the default Samsung home screen launcher on their Galaxy S21 phone with a TV launcher, finding it made their phone feel calmer. They had previously tried multiple launchers to alleviate boredom with the One UI Home screen but none had stuck.
