How to fix it?

Based on the kernel, seems bullseye. Still supported for a month on two, but then it will be unsupported anyway. I suggest upgrading to bookworm first.

I suggest not installing Supervised. It’s a trap.

A first glance it seems you have the best of both worlds, all the add-ons and your own OS, but…

It has a very restrictive set of conditions that mean you can not run any other software on the system. Also it can be difficult to maintain.

Other options:

  • Use a Container install if you are happy running your own applications in Docker instead of add-ons.

  • Use a VM install of HAOS for access to add-ons and easy OS updating. You can run other applications in other VMs with any operating system you want.

  • Use a HAOS install imaged to the system drive if you will never run other software than that supplied by add-ons.
