Gparted freezing

Hi guys. I'm trying to install the latest gnome edition of Gnome blendOS to disk. I'm booting off of a live USB. The problem is that I have Windows 11 installed in the first partitions of the disk and I need to do manual partitioning with gparted. It keeps hanging whenever I try to apply an operation so I can't proceed with the install. Any help is appreciated.

The process seems normal, it asks for my password, I can click install app store and it “installs” but I cannot open, and there’s no android apps as well....

And trying to do sudo make install i ran into a simmilar but slightly diffrent error regarding /usr/local/share/info being a read only filesystem...

Installing BlendOS on Gnome Boxes

Hi I am a linux noob and have rarely used VMs in the past (hence why I am using Gnome Boxes as it is the most readily available.) I am able to boot into the live instance and go through the Installer yet when I get to the panel that actually installs anything it shows "Starting installation with blend-inst..." and the "Next" button is available right away. I have left it on this window for over a half hour yet nothing else appears....
