apx
Apx is the Vanilla OS package manager. It’s meant to be simple to use, but also powerful with support to installing packages from multiple sources without altering the root filesystem. (by Vanilla-OS)

Downsides of linux mint
With the advent of containerised software like Flatpak (or apx if you're adventurous) and Distrobox, running a solid LTS release like Mint has fewer drawbacks than ever.

Linux Application installation
All Flatpaks can be installed as a user. For any other apps, you can compile & install apx, which lets you run many distros in full performance, host integrated containers in your home directory

Using Apx
Honestly, I would try asking on their github .. seems like it should be possible to run it on Silverblue and based on the description from the main project page (emphasis mine), I would think it should be ok

MAN💪jaro
Dude is a bot replying "Manjaro on x86 crashes and breaks alot". I would say Manjaro breaks a lot regardless of the architecture: https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/

let's update, darling? X let's update, MF!
windows: forces major updates to a new not yet ready major version windows: every app has a auto-launch and randomly updates in the background or is outdated windows: updates get stuck and happen right before meetings, etc windows: adds ads to your filemanager during updates and overall is more of a downgrade linux: i tell it t update when it fits me and dont even have to restart (ok its better to reboot after major updates, but i can also tell it to download&install everything and apply it during the next reboot) linux: if for some reason anything breaks i can just undo the update within grub/systemd-boot - meanwhile updating thunderbird killed one of my windows installations permanently manjaro: a burning shipwreck on all sides minimal-distros and other ones i wouldnt recommend for average users: updates require the terminal mint/pop/ubuntu/fedora: updates are neat little pop-ups and just offer it and work

Arch-based Distros
Sets out to be an easy entry to Arch with sane defaults. It tries to achieve this by making the installation of Arch easy, adding GUI-tools to ease you into Linux, own repos with less bleeding-edge software and it ships a configured Btrfs+Timeshift for easy rollbacks to a working system. Unfortunately, the team behind Manjaro has some troubles...
