Android Emulator on new OS user will be more sucure?

Privacy Questions
1

I use Fedora. I want to run Android emulator via Android Studio and AVD.

But I don’t trust Google’s AVD or IDE. I don’t know what it will sent to their servers. When I start Android-studio and AVD they have all permissions to read my file which are inside $HOME.

I was thinking if is it better for privacy to run only Android-studio and AVD on a different new OS user? I will use portable version of Android-Studio and I will put it only on new user’s $HOME.

  • Note-1:
    I will not develop an app. I just want to run many Android devices by resetting them in few seconds and try anything I want inside Android)

  • Note-2
    Please do not recommend me Qubes OS which is the solution exactly for my question. But Its advance for me. I really need simple solutions for myself as possible as.

Run it in a container with limited access to your files in home.

Waydroid is a thing… You can limit what the flatpak can access.
