-   :material-file-code:{ .lg .middle } __Declarative__

    ---

    blendOS v4 is fully declarative, allowing you to use [custom packages, kernels, drivers and desktop environments](reference/configs/system.md) on a minimal, [deployable](reference/configs/system.md#tracks), atomic Arch Linux base system.

-   :material-arrow-up-bold-hexagon-outline:{ .lg .middle } __Atomic__

    ---

    Unlike most other operating systems, blendOS ensures your system does not end up in a half-broken state by [replacing](reference/nerdy-stuff/atomicity.md) your old root filesystem with a new one cleanly.

-   :material-puzzle:{ .lg .middle } __Extensible__

    ---

    blendOS offers support for applications and binaries from [several distributions](reference/container-list.md) and Android, without the fear of breaking your system through the use of `podman` containers.

-   :material-account:{ .lg .middle } __Friendly__

    ---

    Thanks to its [**immutable nature**](reference/nerdy-stuff/immutability.md), blendOS prevents you from wrecking your system if you were to try to delete system directories, and makes troubleshooting issues intuitive for any user.


</div>

------

<em>**Flatpak** applications are supported out-of-the-box, and so are Arch Linux & AUR packages through the `/system.yaml` file. Support for applications from **Android**, **Fedora**, **Ubuntu**, **Debian** and [more](reference/container-list.md) can be enabled through the System app on blendOS.</em>
