As that would mean editing the root filesystem Which can’t be done

Yes, I had the same doubt is there any work around for that or is it impossible?

I think it's impossible

You can mount it at rw and try
Mrugendra Kulkarni
Can you send some detailed steps for me ?
█Morgan█Weedman█

have you tried remounting anything else?
█Morgan█Weedman█
No mostly only needed to mount that for whatever changes I needed.

I'm curious to see what that works with, I might be able to hack something together

And then sometime I also would change some. Of the files from .blend I installed chaotic repo packages See I'm not currently running blend because I need full access for the stuff I do. But I'm looking on moving some blend stuff to any distro. I switched back to arch need the freedom. Or making BlendOS - Mutable Edition

Thanks, I just tried it and the theme is installed. Well if I restart the system it will go to read only right?

yes I wrote a script to make it easier for new users :) I'll make the more minimalistic version later
Mrugendra Kulkarni
This is great, thanks

only potential issue is the changes might be overwritten with an ISO update I haven't verified this and ofc mutability lasts until reboot, which the script explains done it's mutify-cli
█Morgan█Weedman█
Yes that will happen make sure to backup anything Maybe make something like startx

storing changes is outside of the scope of a little shell script I don't even know how you'd begin to do that it would need to be installed to the system at that point
