DistroWatch published a review of the Arch-based blendOS that supports multiple package formats.





blendOS 2023.01.26

blendOS (sometimes written BlendOS on the project's website) is an Arch-based distribution which offers to install and run software from Fedora's development branch (called Rawhide), from Ubuntu, and from Arch Linux repositories. It reportedly runs on an immutable filesystem and uses GNOME as the default desktop, though the project's website reports we can choose the Xfce or Plasma desktops as alternatives at install time.

The blendOS website also mentions the project uses its own package manager, called Blend. We're also told we can use other package managers from supported distributions, including APT, DNF, and pacman. The website goes on to mention Flatpak packages can be installed too.
