Note: blendOS is based on Arch Linux, but you can use any app from
any of the distros supported by blendOS, or even install a desktop
environment from any of the distros and use the distros in standalone
sessions.

Features

What you get with blendOS

Here are some of blendOS's features.

Immutable

blendOS is an immutable operating system. This means your filesystem
is read-only, thus resulting in stable experience.

Apps from any distribution

You can use any of the hundreds of thousands of apps from any of the
distributions supported by blendOS (the creation of containers is
managed by distrobox).

Use any package manager directly

You can use apt/apt-get, dnf/yum, pacman and yay all together from
the blendOS shell, just like you'd use them on their native
distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch respectively).

DE support

GNOME's the officially supported desktop environment, but you can
also choose other desktop environments such as KDE Plasma and XFCE at
the time of installation (for users who're familar with the blendOS
setup).

Individual sessions for distros

Besides the default session, you can also install a desktop
environment from any of these distributions and use the distros in
standalone sessions.

Flatpaks

Flatpaks too are supported. You can install them through the Flathub
Store included in blendOS.



Distributions supported in blendOS

Supported distributions

Use apps or desktop environments from any of these distributions.

Fedora Rawhide

Install any app from the Fedora repositories, or experience the
latest version of GNOME available in the repos.

Arch Linux

Use any of the apps available in one of the largest package
repositories, the AUR, or from the Arch repositories.

Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.10

Want to use one of those apps exclusive to Ubuntu? No problem,
blendOS has you covered.

First Setup

Ease into BlendOS with our user-friendly First Setup app, your
one-stop guide to effortlessly setting up and navigating BlendOS

It's only available on GNOME, which is why we recommend GNOME for new
users.
First Setup

Use any package manager in the same blendOS shell

You can use apt/apt-get, dnf/yum, pacman and yay all together from
the same blendOS shell, just like you'd use them on their native
distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch respectively).
Package Managers

Use a DE in any distro


You can even install GNOME or MATE on any distro of your choice
(Ubuntu, Fedora or Arch), and use the distro as a separate standalone
session. Just run:

$ blend install-de gnome # replace gnome with mate to install MATE,
and add --distro [NAME] to specify a distro; default: fedora-rawhide

Flathub Store

We've also made Flathub available as a desktop app, from which you
can install Flatpaks directly.

Removal hasn't been implemented yet, so you'll have to use the
flatpak CLI for now.

blendOS Installer (Jade GUI)


We've adapted the excellent installer from Crystal Linux to help you
install blendOS with a desktop environment or window manager of your
choice (GNOME for new users; KDE Plasma, XFCE, Sway and i3 for users
familiar with blendOS).

Use blendOS on a T2 Mac.

We've worked with the t2linux project to add support for T2 Macs (all
Intel Macs made after 2018, as well as the iMac Pro) to blendOS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Flathub Store install apps directly, or does it just download
flatpakrefs?

Yep, the Flathub Store installs apps directly (using Souk-Next behind
the scenes), instead of downloading their flatpakrefs and requiring
manual installation.

Does blendOS use pacman, or its own package manager?

Nope, blendOS uses blend, a package manager designed to work with
multiple distributions. Although pacman can be used from a shell, it
runs inside an Arch container.

How do I run system updates?

You can run 'blend system-update' to run system updates (unlike on
Arch, 'pacman -Syu' will simply update the Arch container and will
not update blendOS).
