I had an idea of profile "repos"
The idea is that there could be standard open-source repos for different functions. It would make it take less effort to install a new profile.
Example: Out in Public
Apps: comaps, notepad, tor browser, camera
The function would be to safely travel and if your graphene device is stolen, little data is given to the thief
Example: Secure Communications
Apps: Molly, Simple X, Session, XMPP applications
Example: Graphic Editing
Apps: various open source apps to edit
Example: Profile for Someone Else
Apps: Random Open Source Browser, Apps, Games etc for if someone needs to borrow device for typical use.
What would be nice about such a feature is that there could be some topics (like learning programming or map editing) and a person may not know where to start, but they could just download the profile and that could give them info, it could even include documents about how to do those things
How it would work:
In the same way Obtanium lets people get lists from places, the profile feature would need to let people connect to a repo of profiles.
Problems: this creates an attack vector for malicious actors who could try to create malicious profiles. There could be ways to try to mitigate this, such as verifying signatures from repos or requiring App repos verify in a more secure way, such obtanium. Another idea is that new profiles would be in unstable first and only after being trusted would they be moved into stable.
This may not be an easy option to implement bc the effort required and bc Graphene developers have other priorities.
If this is a good idea I can open up a githib feature request. If this is a bad idea lmk.
