blendOS is an Arch Linux-based, rolling release distribution which automates installing software from supported distributions into containers. Version 3 of the distribution introduces wider support for source distributions (nine now in total) and seven desktop environments. "blendOS v3 introduces two new command line utilities, system and user, and both of these are designed to make the lives of developers much, much easier. system allows you to install packages on the host itself, such as drivers and virtualization software from the Arch Linux repositories (system install and system remove). Speaking of which, unlike quite a few other immutable distributions, blendOS supports software such as VirtualBox if installed on the host. user is a replacement for the old blend CLI (was deprecated in v2). It allows you to create and manage containers and associatiions, as well as generate and move dotfiles and containers between different blendOS machines, as touched upon in the previous section." The release announcemnt offers additional information. Download (MD5, pkglist): plasma/blendOS.iso (3,465MB), gnome/blendOS.iso (3,299MB). |

Distribution Release: blendOS 2023.04.22 |

blendOS is an Arch Linux-based, rolling release distribution which automates installing software from supported distributions (Arch, Fedora, and Ubuntu) into containers. The project's latest snapshot replaces distrobox containers with podman. It is now also easier to install software from Arch straight onto the host distribution. "In addition to the apps available in containers, it’s now possible to install apps straight from the system Arch repos and the Chaotic-AUR repository, on the base itself. This is extremely useful if you want to install a third-party VPN app, for example, or some missing drivers. distrobox has been replaced in favor of our own implementation, using podman directly, built as part of blend, as it was impossible to implement certain features mentioned below using distrobox. Applications and binaries installed in containers now automatically and instantaneously appear on the base system, as expected from a blend of distributions. Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement. Download (MD5), pkglist): blendOS-2023.04.22-x86_64-plasma.iso (3,029MB), blendOS-2023.04.22-x86_64-gnome.iso (2,843MB). |
