The show stopers are some banking apps that don’t work and tap to pay
If that’s not an issue for you, then I’ve had zero problems running GOS. You’ll spend the first week figuring out using different profiles, the cleaner interface, installing things that you actually want. But after that you won’t even notice the difference.
I use Android auto, I have Google installed in a profile for it, everything else is clean without Google, everything works fine.
How long does it take to switch between profiles? Or am I still misunderstanding since you said they all are active at once? So like each of those profiles are available at the same time, but are sandboxed from each other?

Correct. For the three special profiles, they’re all active at the same time, you can use them like you would any other app. They’re just isolated from each other.
Gos also has other user profiles, where you have to swipe down and swap users, those are more cumbersome, but more isolated. But for daily driving, you have three profiles you can use simultaneously, at the same time, no login, no log out, and they’re isolated from each other
For instance, you can have two versions of WhatsApp running at the same time, one in each profile, and they can’t see each other, but you can swap between them like any other two apps.
Imma do it. I’ve started exporting and backing up settings, I just need to find a free couple of hours to do it and then play with it. This weekend at the latest.

So like, you create a sandboxes profile for Google and log into that in your car and use android auto, get to your destination and switch back?
Kinda but you have 3 profiles active at once:
So google just lives in one and the others are clean. From a usage perspective it’s seamless
🤩

Well damn, that’s even better than I thought!
Yeah, I’m quite happy with it. Join us.
