I am super nervous, so close to jumping to GrapheneOS. (lemmy.ml)

For those who use GrapheneOS, is it worth it? Do you like it?

My backups are done, all that is left is the final choice to wipe my whole phone.

I don't think I'm being hunted or resourced... But realistically speaking I'm just tired of not having control of my data.

I'm more just trying to figure out the most effective setup. Because I am going to need certain apps I'm going to get from the Google store. I don't need them all the time, what I really need to understand is which profile should I have the Google Play store on. Should I have it on a secondary profile or the owner profile.

I don't intend on using the profile with Google Play on it daily.

another solution for you is no profiles, just the main + Private Space. In main you dont use any Google stuff. In your private space (setup with a different unlock method from your screenlock), you sign in and get your Google stuff. I havent tried it but it sounds ok...Not sure about transferring files though. E.g. what if I have a news article in Vanadium in mainland and want to share it to my contacts in Private Spac? Or the reverse: I got a pdf from whatsapp in Private Space and want to store it in my main's folder?

I haven't even realized there's a private space...
