However, it is to be noted that despite the majority of core system functionality relating to track-switching being complete, the system as a whole remains under heavy development, and I would **STRONGLY** advise against using it as a daily driver; it is subject to significant internal change, and at the time of writing, only the Arch GNOME image has been tested to be entirely stable -- the other tracks are comparatively somewhat lacking in terms of functionality (e.g. suspend issues, missing web browser OOTB), though one can expect that to change over the coming few weeks as development progresses.

### collaboration with framework
Earlier this year, the team at [Framework](https://frame.work/) had reached out to me about the possibility of introducing official blendOS support for their hardware; speaking as an advocate of repairable hardware, there could not have been obvious choice than to take it on.

## A long-due personal update
## a long-due personal update
It has been rather long since I last wrote one of these blog posts, and I shall, as such, take the liberty to hijack the remainder of this blog post with tales of my recent tribulations.
This past year has been a rather tumultous one -- for one, I no longer reside in Wiltshire, instead encircled by the urban pastures of London (and the not-so-urban Surrey countryside, though unfortunately somewhat further off). Moreover, the increased academic pressure of the A-levels certainly has caught up to me, as I say goodbye to the bygone days of the GCSEs and my time at an online independent school to welcome a state school (well, grammar school) into my life for the first time ever; even so, my prep school and public school days are certainly well behind me at this point, their role in my life displaced by the gruelsome scholastic pursuits of this newfound selective environment.
This past year has been a rather tumultous one -- for one, I no longer reside in Wiltshire, instead encircled by the urban pastures of London (and the not-so-urban Surrey countryside, though unfortunately somewhat further off). Moreover, the increased academic pressure of the A-levels certainly has caught up to me, as I bid goodbye to the bygone days of the GCSEs (and alongside it, my time at an online independent school) to welcome a state school (well, a grammar school) into my life for the first time ever; even so, my prep school and public school days are certainly well behind me at this point, their role in my life displaced by the gruelsome scholastic pursuits of this newfound selective environment.
All of this takes us to the present day, where I presently find myself fully engrossed in this singular project of mine in spite of my upcoming Year 12 mock examinations the coming week onwards (that determine my predicted grades -> what universities I can attend). This is unfortunately likely not to last particularly long, but I do expect to return to working on blendOS v5 more actively by some time around the end of this month; one may, however, expect my online activity to drop substantially over the coming couple of weeks.
