Hey everyone, I am setting my new (used) pixel 8 with GOS. I read on GOS site a lot,but want clearer understand some things. How to set different profiles- one for private and one for daily use. I understood its possible, right? I read another bothering thing,that GOS use 2 steps authentication- fingerprints and pin to open the phone. I am very against biodata, I never use it. Is it possible to leave only with pin ? Any advice what to apps to install will be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I might have gone a bit overboard. I said F-Droid because I wanted something that could update Obtainium and also serve as a store to search for open-source apps

Well anyway, I deleted F-Droid to reduce attack surface. Thank you very much!

FWIW Obtanium prompts me to update itself. It updates other apps automatically but seems to require me to actually enact the self-update

For open source apps, this is a decent list and there are probably others like it: Awesome Android Apps

The grapheneOS Discord also has an apps channel where people discuss different apps for specific purposes and compatibility notes/issues.
