blendOS

blendOS is a declarative, immutable and atomic desktop built from Arch Linux packages. It supports configurable desktop environments and isolated application containers from several Linux distributions. The catalogue records build 2026.10.01+38 from an official listed mirror version marker and selects the master build-server ISO. The project warns that build-server and recompressed mirror images can require different checksums; use the checksum belonging to the chosen source.
