How can I install printer drivers?
the printer drivers I need are in aur, I try to run cups within the containers and it doesn't let me run cups service. Is there a way to install those drivers to the main system or run a docker container that has it's own cups service in the main system aside from the supported ones?
BlendOS is laggy
I reinstalled BlendOS after a few months as I hoped things would become better, instead it's a laggy and unusable mess. Even just watching YouTube barley works and I don't have these problems on any other Distros I tried.
Issues with normal settings app
I had problems with the settings app (not the blend OS settings, the normal settings app) as when I clicked the sharing tab, the settings app stopped responding. I keep closing and reopening it but everytime, it comes back on the sharing tab that i closed it on and i cant get it to go on anything else like the wifi or privacy tab. How can I restart the settings app?

My BlendOSv3 is freshly installed so i would like to use the Yubico authenticator app installed via Flathub (store) to connect to other apps but i can 't start the OTP app and connect to the key.

can't use containers from system terminal
Hi, sorry for my bad english. I'm using blendOS v3 kde plasma and I use Arch and Ubuntu 23.04 containers. I have a problem tho, i can't use any container from system terminal: if i do "sudo pacman.Arch -Syu" it says "pacman: command not found", same thing for the ubuntu container; but if i open the container terminal from blendos settings i can use it without problems.

Dual-booting with blendOS
Right now my laptop is set-up as a dual-boot with Linux Mint 21.1 (on the SSD) and Ubuntu 23.04 (on a HP partition). I've got a free partition on my hard drive where I'd like to install blendOS, in order to give it a real try. I was planning on using the manual partitioning, but before I go any further I need to know if the installer will detect my other OSes and include them in the bootloader?

Add custom repo to pacman
I have Razer devices and host a pacman repo with the driver packages. On my Arch machines, I can just edit pacman.conf to add my repo and install the drivers. When I open BlendOS's pacman.conf, it says it'll be overwritten on next upgrade.
So my question is, how do I add custom repos to BlendOS?...
