Just installed GOS on my phone, really like it. I want to know how GOS users setup their profiles to learn from them. So far, i found out the followings:

  1. everything in Owner

  2. leave Owner blank. Put everything in another profile names User.

  3. leave Owner blank. Put all Google stuff in user Google. Put all FOSS app in FOSS user. Put all bank stuff under Sensitive user.

  4. use Owner as an app repo. So install Google Play, Acrescent, Fdroid. Install apps from there, but dont use them. Instead, when create new user, push those apps from Owner. This is similar to Side of Burritos on Youtube.

anything different?

One profile. No Google sandbox stuff. All open source programs.

On my work Pixel tablet I have a home profile as owner with Aurora store just to be able to load it on the other profile. Then a secondary "work" profile with all the bloat
