I just installed BlendOS and looking for documentation
I'm looking for info on a few simple usability issues. 1. I would like to copy/paste in the Linux containers I setup. for ex. I want to install OBS, Zoom, Chrome (full browser) etc. in Ubuntu Linux container but I'm sadly used to a GUI installer so copy and pasting stuff like urls for using wget to download .DEB's, is copy/paste with mouse or CTRL-V possible? 2. may also solve 1. can Gnome Software be installed in container and then be available in the host system? Would be useful until I get familiar with BlendOS containers. Is there documentation on the container technology used in BlendOS? Like is it a custom flavor of a LinuxContainer tech or something else? Thanks for the greate work. I've been Distro hopping Immutables like Opensuse Aeon, Universal Blue, etc looking for a home with documentation to get started on what I'm looking to build. I have a LXD/LXC homelab but I'm looking to create a mobile version on a Gaming laptop and making some stuff available online using Cloudflare Zero Trust because I'm behind CGNAT. Any resources or videos whould be fantastic

CTRL + SHIFT + C/V for copy and paste
It's based on Arch Linux
It uses podman for containers plus some stuff made by the devs to make it work.
Check the pinned post saying "Read this first before posting" for some other info
Docs are a bit barebones at this point
For OBS you'd probably want it installed on the host system, I haven't installed OBS on blendOS before, so it might not work right if installed to a container.
to install obs to the host
I don't use Debian/Ubuntu based distros, so I am unsure how to install with command line.
But if you make an Arch container
It's
So yay zoom for zoom
You could probably just seach online "how to install <package name> Ubuntu command line" and you'll probably find something.
Also updates are automatic, and happen in the background
Though I am not sure if it's just the host system or also the containers aswell
That get updated
we're working on a community wiki so people can write guides for others
