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?

Just the one profile that comes with the install. I need a way to get Ticketmaster tickets in to a wallet tho, so I may need to set up another profile with Play Services and Google wallet, just for tickets. Either that or reset my old Samsung phone and download the tickets on to it, bring it with me to the concert. I have one year to figure it out, the concert is Dec 2026.

You can just view the ticket in the browser on Ticketmaster's website. Have been to 2 concerts in the last couple of months and this worked for me without issue.

Yeah, but I don't have a data plan. I know thats weird these days, but Im lucky not to need one. The easiest thing would be to transfer the tickets to my spouse, but I have to be able to do it with the tech I use now. I've just started looking into it.

My spouse has bought any tickets for us the last few years, so I'm pretty green about it. I haven't been concerned until now, but I was home the day these tickets went on sale so I made the purchase.

There are a couple of apps that work just for ticket files (.pkpass). I'm currently using FOSS wallet. Catima works too but I didn't love the layout.

I was reading on a graphene forum about problems with Ticketmaster in particular, I just started looking into it so its a little vague. My spouse has bought tickets for the last few years so I've never used a wallet. What I read says Ticketmaster won't release the pass file through any means but using google services, so Catima wasn't an option, google wallet only. Maybe that was something more specialized, like sports event tickets were talked about. I have to read more.

One option mentioned was to carry a second device, which I have. Its not a good option but it works. Its an S8 so its fairly light.

I don't have a data plan, so no website access except WiFi.
