blendOS Aims to Replace All Linux Distributions
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu Unity's lead has come up with a new distro that sounds like something everyone might want to keep an eye on.
|
|
|
|
![blend os][1]
|
|

|
|
|
|
Sounds too far-fetched?
|
|
|
|
Well, **blendOS** pitches itself to be the **ultimate distro-blend**.
|
|
|
|
blendOS is a new project by **Rudra Saraswat**, known for Ubuntu-based remixes, and Ubuntu Unity in particular (which is now an official [Ubuntu flavour][3]).
|
|
|
|
I would say the project has a pretty accurate name for what it wants to achieve.
|
|
|
|
_But, how does blendOS aim to be a replacement to all? What is it all about?_
|
|
|
|
### blendOS: Not Just Another Linux Distribution
|
|
|
|
![blendOS][4]
|
|
|
|
blendOS is an Arch-based distro which supports every type of app package.
|
|
|
|
If you have read about **[carbonOS][5]** and **[Vanilla O][6]**[S][6], you should have a good idea about some common points among such distros.
|
|
|
|
One of them being, **immutability**, meaning, the core/base of the operating system remains unchanged, giving you an enhanced security, and simpler, and reliable updates.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, blendOS has the following key highlights:
|
|
|
|
- Immutable operating system
|
|
- Support for multiple package managers including **apt, dnf, yum, pacman, and yay**
|
|
- Multiple desktop environment support
|
|
- Flathub Store as a desktop app
|
|
|
|
[blendOS][7] uses Jade GUI (the installer from [Crystal Linux][8]) to provide a seamless installation experience. And, the Flathub store can directly install apps, and not download flatpakref files, as one would expect.
|
|
|
|
To make all distribution packages work, blendOS uses its package manager **blend.**
|
|
|
|
You can still use pacman from a shell through an Arch container.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, it supports, T2 macs, i.e., Intel Macs made after 2018. So, if you want to experiment on a device that you already have, blendOS should work with it.
|
|
|
|
> 🚧 As of now, the project is at its early stages of development.
|
|
|
|
Some immediate changes expected include:
|
|
|
|
![][9]
|
|
|
|
- Distrobox to be replaced with its implementation using Podman
|
|
- A new GUI configuration tool, with support for managing overlays and containers
|
|
|
|
So, yes, what you see right now is subject to change. However, it is still something that sounds exciting.
|
|
|
|
You can read about its planned changes in its [official blog post][10] and explore blendOS on its [GitHub page][11].
