BlendOS - A seamless blend of all Linux distributions?

I imagined more like rotating wheels but it’s on a slippery surface so it’s not moving, like walking on a treadmill…

More like having put banana peels on the bottom of your shoes and trying to traverse a flight of stairs during the worst ice storm in 50 years.

Aint worth it.

Have you tried it?

If so, perhaps you could fill out the gaps.

I’m genuinely curious.

Think, I’m gonna give it a VM-try as their marketing sounds pretty appealing. - I like separating the wheat from the chaff. :wink:

My only “immutable” experience was with Fedora Silverblue, and I was cured from that within a very short time by forgetting about it again.

Yes I’ve tried out Blend OS and it’s a piece of CRAP.

Oh, I see!
Thanks for a fleshed out review!

Mfs on their way to create yet another abomination full of the code abstractions beyond the human comprehension.
Hardware machine code translator → Programming language VM/Interpreter → Apparrmor/Firejail sandboxing → Application own sandbox implementation → Flatpack/Snap → Docker/Podman → Virtual Machine → An actual OS.

And now let’s multiply it all to have personal abstraction hell for each programm, like if it’s not enough already.

You’re very welcome. Please don’t hesitate to ask me for a review on anything in the future. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Given the high quality of your reviews and richness of the technical details, I’m afraid they are well beyond my grasp at the level of my understanding of things Linux.

Thank you so much for the offer but I politely decline. :wave:t5:

The only thing i see that it’s got going for it is KDE! But they probably ruin it. :worried:

I took another look at it yesterday and to be honest from some changes they made for the latest release looks like it’s worth giving a not spin. From what I’m understanding is in the new version I no longer have to create containers and give access to them on the main OS, it’s automatic now. Let me know if I have that correct.

I still think it’s crap! :rofl:

Looks like in their recent release they have done some changes to have the possibility to install packages to the main os, the “host” if you so will more easily. Also, when installing software in a container, they are exported automatically to the “host” and are available there.

I’ll be giving it a try perhaps this weekend mostly out of curiosity to se how it is designed and structured.

Here is also a blog post about the latest release: https://blendos.co/blend-os-v2/

Thanks, I think I’ll wait and see your end results before attempting. Personally their installer makes me a little nervous where the partitioning is concerned.

I tried installing it and i even used KDE and still don’t like it at all. :unamused:

Not understanding you. Can you be more clear? :rofl:

It’s not blending! :rofl: It doesn’t mix with EndeavourOS.

All joking aside I think it would be a great answer for someone like my roommate cause it’s hard to break. I get more than a little tired fixing things I personally though were unbreakable in Linux install.
