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:

everything in Owner
leave Owner blank. Put everything in another profile names User.
leave Owner blank. Put all Google stuff in user Google. Put all FOSS app in FOSS user. Put all bank stuff under Sensitive user.
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?

I saw that side of Burritos video it was overkill for me I have 3 profiles 1.owner: most of the apps I use are here (but no sandboxed Google play) these apps are 95% FOSS some are not but I needed them to be easily accessible 2. Financial profile: all banking and other financial stuff are here this profile also has sandboxed Google play so all of these apps are installed through Google play and updated easily 3. Dumb big tech profile: the stupid and time consuming proprietary social media and messaging and meta apps that I might need every once in a while are here this profile also has sandboxed Google play. That's it hope it was helpful.
