Version: 1.0.4

blend is a package manager for blendOS, which includes support for Arch, Ubuntu and Fedora packages.

default distro: arch (default container's name is the same as that of the default distro)

Here's a list of the supported distros:
1. arch
2. fedora-rawhide
3. ubuntu-22.04
4. ubuntu-22.10
(debian support is coming soon)

You can use any of these distros by passing the option --distro=[NAME OF THE DISTRO].

You can even install a supported desktop environment in a blend container (run `blend install-de [DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT NAME]` to install your favorite desktop environment).

However, this feature is still somewhat experimental, and some apps might be buggy.

Here's a list of the supported desktop environments:
1. gnome
2. mate
(support for many more DEs is coming soon)

arch also supports AUR packages, for an extremely large app catalog.
