Android has pretty good profile support, I have my own profile, a guest one which is wiped when you logout, and one for my kids which can't buy things.

Works pretty well for me, there's a little profile icon in quick settings to switch

Nice! That must be a new feature? It had no such thing, the last time I used Android.

Err... I use a Windows phone, even though I'm normally a Linux user. I kinda like it.

It is present on my Nexus 5 running 6.0.1, and absent on my HTC One A9, running 7.0.

I suspect that it's a feature dropped from many/most customized versions of Android.

I’ve seen it on Lineage OS, but it might be tablet-only.
Its available in Lineage OS for mobile as well.
