Android 14: Home button should bring up Google Assistant, not "Circle to search" (changed via update)

I would like to reverse a behaviour on Android 14 that was introduced with the September update.
- Previously (this is what i would like to see): Long-press of the home button brings up Google Assistant (eg. for Calling, setting alarms, etc.)
- Behaviour since the update: Long-press of the home button brings up some google overlay feature to "circle to search". Bringing up the assistant now moved to some obscure swipe gesture from the corner in.
I have looked in the settings on how to define behaviour of the home button but not found anything. Ideally there would be sth like a mapping table.
On here, the closest thing I found to this usecase is a ticket that deals with switching off both functionalities (assistant and the circling feature: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/255899/how-to-stop-disabled-google-assistant-popping-up-on-home-button-long-presses
Any nifty way where I can directly define the behaviour of the homebutton and set it to the assistant? Alternatively any other way, eg a launcher?
- Android version: 14, September Update
- Phone: Samsung A55 5G
Thanks all!
