  • User profiles vs work profiles vs private spaces

Hello,

I was wondering what your preferences are regarding the options in the title of this post. What are the pros and cons of each?

I understand the differences between a user and work profile, but I am unsure how private spaces differ from work profiles.

What do you use, and why?

My thoughts:

I might get a Pixel soon and was considering to use user profiles to separate my personal FOSS apps into the owner user profile. Here I would have the default apps, f-droid, Telegram, Proton apps, and a bunch of misc FOSS apps. Would it make sense to install microg here for notifications in case some of these need it? I would also use Aurora instead of Playstore. Does this approach make any sense?

I would then create one or more separate user profiles that use Google services. These would be for banking, occassional social media use, Google dependant apps, etc. Basically for stuff that is more invasive and/or closed source.

What do you think? 😃
