Best App Launcher on Linux
Looking for a good app launcher for Linux. Currently looking for something for Arch and I see there's a lot of options liks rofi and wofi. What are your favourite app launchers and why?

Krunner in KDE Plasma. Fast, customisable and reliable.
I also use krunner but unless I've misconfigured it, I wouldn't call it fast (and it freezes a lot since it runs in the background).
Compared to when I used rofi on hyprland (which was really fast). I'm back on KDE cause of the hyprland toxicity debacle, and honesty the only thing that isn't fast, customizable, and reliable is the app runner.
Krunner also has a weird quirk where as it loads entries, it will change the currently selected option so when you hit Enter, it will actually not execute the one you want, but instead run "Install "
Talking out loud I should probably bind alt+space to back to rofi or try Fuzzel or something
try disabling any krunner plugins you don't need. that should make things faster.
Yes, good addition to my comment, the first thing I do after a new install is also disabling most of the plugins, since there a LOT.
