I always consider the act of reinstalling your OS to be the nuclear
option. But you're looking to blow up your entire planet!

I watched your video and you've shown a grave misunderstanding of GRC.
You are trying to drag-and-drop the categories, not the blocks
themselves. Next to each category, like 'Misc' or 'Sources', click the
right-facing triangle to open up the drop-down list of blocks in those
categories. You should be able to drag-and-drop those onto your
canvas.
