How to remove unwanted apps from home screen
-
Hey I've got a ton of apps that I'd like to remove from my homescreen, including ones from waydroid.
What's the best way to make this happen?
Thanks in advance.

For these, Waydroid Helper is the way to go. It has an option to hide apps.

And Libertine?

I've never used it! Believe me, I would have told you if I knew how to do this. I had no idea that Libertine installs unwanted apps.

@Rinkeby Libertine only installs what you ask it to and except with WayDroid showing duplicated apps not sure what unwanted means. Can't you delete the Libertine apps you no longer want from inside the libertine container?.
If I am right what you are calling home screen is just a list of all the installed apps which can just be deleted.
Are you on 20.04 Focal or 16.04 using one of the alternative "homescreen" apps -
@Lakotaubp Vim is auto installed at container creation and it surprisingly has a desktop file with an icon, but cannot be launched from the drawer.

Hey, thanks for the answer. And for Moem, I was just hoping you had the answer
I am running 20.04. And libertine installs a looot of things you dont want sometimes. But thats when you are a bit experimental. For example, If you want Falkon to run, and get the installation completed. You need to install kde window manager first. (I am sure there is a smarter way, but I dont know one)
And when you install KDE window manager. You get a bunch of system apps like network manager and stuff.
So, no terror. But it would be nice to be able to clean it up. All other apps are just in .local as .desktop. but not libertine stuff.
