Native speakers, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's either "how is it", or "what is it like", but not "how is it like".

No offense to OP!

"How is it like" is slightly awkward, but not necessarily wrong.

It's not, and I don't think my English is that good for a non native 😅

Your English is better than some of the people i graduated highschool with, and they're monolingual

Thanks! I prefer not to disclose, everything stays public on the Fediverse 😄

Some people don't think it be like it is, but it do.
