Features

The customizations made to bleUX OS are abstracted as features, which can be independently enabled/disabled at users' need. At install, the system comes with a set of them enabled by default, and the rest is disabled by default.

libapt-pkg user-facing frontend

The standard frontend experience provided by apt can be too low-level and hard to understand. nala provides a more user-friendly alternative, as well as more advanced features that make package managing both powerful and easy.

Feature	Enabled by default	Command to enable	Command to disable
apt		sudo apt-enable	sudo apt-disable
nala		sudo nala-add	sudo nala-remove

Sandboxed package formats

As much as snap works really well in server environments, its support in desktop environments is average at best. flatpak, on the other hand, is focused on providing interoperability across different desktop environments, being supported by the Freedesktop project.

Feature	Enabled by default	Command to enable	Command to disable
flatpak		sudo flatpak-add	sudo flatpak-remove
snap		sudo snap-add	sudo snap-remove

Audio/media server
