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.

Just go for it. You can always go back to stock if you dont like it.
My advice: dont make it too complicate. GOS has a lot of different securities and you can choose whatever you want to do with your phone. Some examples::
you can run the whole thing on 1 profile
1 main profile and 1 secondary for Google
1 main profile for admin and several secondary profiles each with their own private space… .
and so on and on. I like to think of GOS similar to Archlinux. You can choose your way, but if things go south , a extremely complicate setup will make it very difficult to diagnose and maintain.
If you could tell me the logic behind using the different securities… I’m working on figuring out graphene and using it as a daily driver. Currently I’ve got my owner profile which is the one with Google Play. I’ll just push the apps to my daily driver…
What would you suggest?
Not OP, but here’s an answer for your consideration.
Assuming you are not currently being hunted by well resourced scary people…
It seems to me that even using a single user profile on GrapheneOS already provides dramatically better security and privacy outcomes than any other mobile device option, anyway.
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.
