Show HN: Convert your Containerfile to a bootable OS
There's also Elemental which is SUSE-oriented but distro agnostic https://github.com/rancher/elemental-toolkit
I've been hoping NixOS moves in this direction over time, the distribution/rollout aspect seems under-baked currently.

SUSE Elemental Toolkit
Has anybody used Elemental Toolkit? Seems to provide a good tool set for k8s cluster lifecycle management, including OS build and maintenance

Looking for your feedback on immutable Linux meta-distribution for edge Kubernetes
At first glance on the website, this reminded me of https://github.com/rancher/elemental-toolkit ... Probably because you mention openSUSE and K3s.

An Ubuntu kernel bug causes container crashes
The rancher stack is pretty amazing.
Elemental is pretty close to coreos: https://github.com/rancher/elemental/
They even have a way to build arbitrary os images: https://github.com/rancher/elemental-toolkit
It's pretty great

K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes
I've been eyeing Kairos [1] which is an OS lifecycle management system for k3s which looks like a nice way to deploy k3s.

Are there any dedicated linux distros that come out of the box with k8s?
kairos.io – Turn your existing distro into an immutable OS with k8s. It is the logical successor of what k3os intended (kind of).

What's the state of immutable distros? Do you use them?
Check out this TNS blog and Kairos blog about the Kairos project. It is a meta distribution, which addresses the issues around immutable distros at a more fundamental level while providing much more flexibility.

How to create cluster?
Kairos could fit the bill here - I don't think it supports Windows but it does have a cool Network Boot project called AuroraBoot.

Poll ! What is your OS of choice to run k8s ON PREM ?
Did you heard about https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos ? It supports any base OS (Fedora, openSUSE, Alpine, Rockylinux, Ubuntu, ..), and follows strongly the same K3OS principles. It is immutable, with an A/B upgrading mechanism and it is container based so it is easy to customize to fit your needs. It is community-driven, with no strings attached to any distribution or vendor.

Suggest container Linux distro go to deploy Kubernetes on a Bare Metal Server
Yes Kairos. KaiOS is a mobile Linux distribution unrelated to Kubernetes.

Introducing Kairos 1.5: A Smarter, More Secure Way to Manage Your Infrastructure
up to now we have MetalLB and Kubevirt, but here is a list of the ones that were brought up by the community (and planning to add): https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos/issues/592, feel free to add your feedback and tell what you would like to see there!
What are some alternatives?
When comparing elemental-toolkit and kairos you can also consider the following projects:
Flatcar - Flatcar project repository for issue tracking, project documentation, etc.
