CTOnews.com, June 6 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- developer Rudra Saraswat said that the immutable distribution blendOS 3 system is under development and promises to provide new features for users of immutable distributions, such as support for nine Linux distributions and updated methods that do not use package repositories.

The blendOS distribution promises a mix of Arch Linux, Fedora Linux and Ubuntu, and blendOS 2, released in April this year, uses WayDroid and promises to run Android applications.

One of the biggest changes in blendOS 3 is the new way to perform system updates without using the package repository. Starting with blendOS 3, the existing blendOS installation will be updated with the latest ISO image instead of downloading a single package from the repository for better stability.

BlendOS 3 also comes with a new Akshara tool that allows users to install custom packages on the overlay layer, which will be retained and regenerated using the new system base so that your blendOS installation remains the same.

In addition, if you are worried about excessive downloads during the update, blendOS 3 and later will use the zsync file transfer program to significantly reduce the size of the update by downloading only the difference between the previous version and the current version.

BlendOS 3 will also support more containerized distributions, including AlmaLinux OS, Rocky Linux, Kali Linux, Crystal Linux, and Debian GNU / Linux. Support for Fedora Linux and Ubuntu has been updated to the latest version, such as Fedora Linux 38 and Ubuntu 23.04.

The blendOS 3 release also includes Assemble tools that will be used to build packages and images, can also be used to build blendOS hybrids, and support more desktop environments and window managers.

BlendOS 3 is now available for public Beta testing (CTOnews.com with a download address), as well as support for downloading GNOME and KDE Plasma live ISO images.
