    You can do exactly that. On Android it's not called a "desktop manager" but a "launcher" that you can use to give Android a new UI. Some of them are very minimal, which sounds like what you are interested in.

    Granted, there may not be a lot of them updated for Android 12 yet, just because it's so new.
