New Distro 'BlendOS' Combines Arch Linux, Fedora Linux and Ubuntu
I was curious about this too, so went digging.
The immutability is handled by "nearly", created for blendOS: https://github.com/blend-os/nearly
(In turn, "nearly" is called by the "blend" package manager, e.g., "sudo nearly enter rw", "sudo nearly enter ro" - https://github.com/blend-os/blend/blob/main/blend)
At the heart of "nearly" is toggling inode flag "FS_IMMUTABLE_FL" (equivalent to "chattr +i" / "chattr -i") on each file within specified directories (currently "/usr"): https://github.com/blend-os/nearly/blob/3bb6f662818545cba1eb...

[Hobby Scuffles] Week of January 23, 2023
Enter blendOS. Also immutable OS, but based on Arch instead of Ubuntu (which... kinda not great for immutable unless you approach it like Valve's SteamOS due to how Arch normally wants frequent updates). Also by a famous dev, who has done projects such as Unity revival and Gamebuntu. It uses nearly which is a fork of almost. It uses Crystal Linux's jade installer which allows it to set what Desktop Environment (GUI you interact with, KDE is the one used by SteamOS while many distro defaults to Gnome due to historical and packaging issues) while for now vanillaOS only offers Gnome by default as they're working on their 'minimal' ISO for people to choose what DE they want to use and later might offer an official KDE version. Oh, and blend which is basically apx but with a few new commands like installing a DE inside a container.
