This makes me infinitely happy. Especially in light of everything happening in the world. Its a small measured way to make a difference.

Almost four hours later, I’ve got everything set up: Orbot, the Play Store, and Obtainium are installed in the main profile, with all apps disabled there by default. From the main profile, I push apps into separate profiles, like my “Midtsveen” profile and a “Google” profile where I keep proprietary apps (which I’ll probably rename to “Proprietary”).

Now I just need to move photos and a few other things over, too lazy to deal with that right now, but it’ll happen at some random point. Most apps are installed through the Google Play Store, which is routed through Orbot, and so far there haven’t been any issues.

Obtainium is needed for apps like Auxio and another FOSS app that isn’t available on the Play Store. The reason I still need the Play Store is that one proprietary app is picky about where it’s installed from.

After that, I just push proprietary apps to my proprietary profile and FOSS apps to my Midtsveen profile, which is the one I daily-drive.
