Distro-switching & OCI system images in blendOS v5 + a collaboration with Framework

This is a cross-post (republished verbatim) from my personal blog that was originally titled 'devlog: distro-switching & OCI system images in blendOS, collaboration with Framework, and a personal update', bearing the original description:

An account of how I implemented the ability to switch between distributions on blendOS and news of a collaboration with Framework, plus a personal update at the end.

As such, certain sections of this blog post may not be directly relevant to the project.

Emergency akshara fix for AUR updates

Run this instead of the normal sudo akshara update:

wget https://git.blendos.co/blendOS/system-tools/akshara/-/raw/main/akshara && sudo umount -l /usr && sudo mv ./akshara /usr/bin/akshara && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/akshara && sudo akshara update

Our Gitlab migration is now underway

After a long wait, we've begun the migration process. All important repositories are on our Gitlab server, and push mirror to Github.

Github PRs will no longer be accepted. Github Issues are depreceated and will be disabled across all repositories.

The Github repos will remain as read only mirrors for backup and discovery purposes.
