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

Are there any dedicated linux distros that come out of the box with k8s?
First rancheros then k3os now they are onto Elemental. Suffice to say none of these solutions has even lasted long enough to make them worthwhile. I say build a composable template with cloud-init and be done with it.

k3os is it possible to install drivers without starting from scratch (Mastering an ISO).
k3os has been superceded by SLE BCI (https://www.suse.com/products/base-container-images/) and Elementatl (https://github.com/rancher/elemental)
