categorize_apps_gnome

How to turn categorize_apps_gnome off service? It is automatically launched by the system and loads my processor, even if I turned off application grouping in the settings. I think this is some kind of error in the script, because if you turn on grouping, it turns off after a while, after the grouping is completed.

Inability to install the application on the host system

When I try to install any application on the host system using system install I get this error. All solutions on the Internet regarding this matter come down to using pacman, which I cannot use in the system.

Hey, having some issues. Suggestions?

I really like this operating system Idea, but I am having some issues. nothing is working right. First thing i did when I got this is I installed nix I read online that it would work. I got it to work. and created a cron job that would push the nix applications to the start menu, that worked fine. first day using it the containers worked fine. now I'm running into issues, the containers stopped working. tried making a new one and the got a no module found pexpect error. then a javascript error when I tried to copy that terminal error information. also the adroid apps and adroid system stopped working. also I'd like to say I had issues with python as well. I created a python venv and that worked fine, but once i pip open-interperter which is what I wanted to use, it did not run. where ever other linux distro runs this just fine. just freezes. now thats everything. sorry I couldn't provide any more. should I just come back next version? seems like this is very unstable still. thanks looking forward to hearing from you soon....

Running OpenTabletDriver from container.

Hello everyone! this is my first day using blendos, and it's my first time using immutable and containerized system such as blend. I'm currently trying to install opentabletdriver (https://opentabletdriver.net/Wiki/Install/Linux) from AUR inside an arch container.

At first i tried to run the command systemctl enable --user opentabletdriver.service --now, it created the symlink in the container but it won't start saying Failed to start opentabletdriver.service: Unit opentabletdriver.service not found....

WPS Office not starting

Hi! Newbie here! Using latest blendos (just love the concept of this os) version with gnome and a new installation.

Android support does not work

Hi, I have installed BlendOS because of its Android support. I get into the setting window, click on Android, I am informed that because of my NVIDIA card, Android will use software rendering, I click on "initialize", I get a lot of prompts to insert my password and then an option to install f-droid and Aurora. I click on them. Their buttons change to "open" and here it ends. I click on those buttons and nothing happens. I click on "Open settings", and nothing happens. When I click on another tab in the settings and click back, I have to initialize WayDroid again and nothing happens. I tried restarting the computer and nothing helps. Any idea?...
