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.

blendOS v4 Alpha

We're glad to announce the first alpha release of blendOS v4!

It's the first release of blendOS that is fully declarative, allowing you to have any packages, kernels or drivers on a base Arch system of your liking, while shipping pre-configured GNOME, KDE, XFCE, MATE and Budgie images if you'd like not to deal with the hassle of setting everything up yourself.
