Do I need to create a boot partition for blendOS?

Hello, I was recently tryingto install blendOS, I wanted to ask if I need to create a Boot partition (512MB / FAT32) on a UEFI (GPT) system because I already have Windows installed as well as a EFI partition.Some people with UEFI have created it and some haven't, since I don't have fast internet or a lot of time, as blendOS downloads during installation.

Solution:

Well for dual booting, yeah you'll need to set up the partitions manually, with an EFI partition

Git package from aur build with every update

I've added openscad-git to my aur-packages. I realized that now, Everytime I run sudo akshara update the git repo is pulled and built from scratch which takes quite some time. Is this by design? Couldn't we somehow check the revision I'd against the one from the last install...?

Solution:

each time you update you're making a whole new system

file <</boot/amd-ucode.img>> not found

Hi, I installed BlendOs on my laptop, with intel® Core™ i5-7300U × 4 processor, in triple boot with Win10 and Arch Linux, but when I want to enter BlendOs I get an error: file <</boot/amd-ucode.img>> not found. I do not know why it looks for that file if my processor is intel, I thank you for your support in this situation.

How can I set this kernel parameter "amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x200"

Need to change this parameter to fix artifacts on ASUS TUF A16. The Reddit post I found the solution in https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/1fabknf/solved_desktop_environment_artifacts_on_asus_tuf/...

Solution:

do sudo nano /etc/default/grub, scroll down to the lower GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add the option there, press CTRL + O to save, CTRL + X to exit and run sudo akshara update

Startup/Autostart Containers..

Ok, last inquiry and then I'm taking a deep dive into blendOS this weekend. I have not seen an option/ability within settings or the System app, so.. Is it possible to autostart one or more containers when the system boots up? Maybe adding something to [System] to toggle autostarting..? So we don't have to wait on the first app launched from a container to start each container......

Binary icons in Dock when running containerized app.

This is purely aesthetic, not a mission critical issue.. I have two apps that I run specific versions of, and therefore have to install from files. Both .deb files. Both apps install fine, both have their actual icons in app view (gnome), both can be dragged down to the Dock, and both apps run just fine. However when I start either of the apps I do not get a normal 'open indicator' on the docked app icon, I get a binary gear icon that pops up at the end of the Dock. Not a critical issue of course, more of an ocd issue, but is there anything that can be done to the container or binary or whatever so the app icon of the containerized apps behaves like all the other 'native' apps pinned in the Dock?...

Error: Read-only file system (edit hosts)

This is probably a general sys-admin issue/solution, but as I have never not been able to edit a hosts file, under any operating system, I do not know how to address. Need to redirect/block a couple of domains to localhost to prevent some apps from changing settings/features once they detect updates are available. I attempted to edit the /etc/hosts file and /usr/etc/hosts file but both return {Read-only file system}. I have created a hosts file with the redirects I need in /usr/local/etc/, which saved, but is not being read by the system..... How, where, what can I do with this read-only file system to accomplish what would normally be done through simply editing the hosts file??...

Solution:

Just sudo nano /etc/hosts
