blendOS v2 “Avial”

In addition to the apps available in containers, it’s now possible to install apps straight from the system Arch repos and the Chaotic-AUR repository, on the base itself. This is extremely useful if you want to install a third-party VPN app, for example, or some missing drivers. distrobox has been replaced in favor of our own implementation, using podman directly, built as part of blend, as it was impossible to implement certain features mentioned below using distrobox. Applications and binaries installed in containers now automatically and instantaneously appear on the base system, as expected from a blend of distributions.
