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?

Currently everything in owner, with banking apps in my private space.

I was tempted by the idea of owner as an app repo but the private space is only available in the owner profile.

Someone else in this thread mentioned they were using another device for their app repo and sideloading from there. That's an intriguing idea for keeping even sandboxed Google off my owner profile. An idea for the future maybe.

In standard Android yes, but on GrapheneOS has 1 (one) private space per profile.

do you use a different Google account to download the bank app? or no Google at all in private space, and instead push an app downloaded from main?

A different google account in the private space.
