SUSE Preserves Choice in Enterprise Linux by Forking RHEL
I still don't forgive SUSE for buying Rancher and then unceremoniously killing k3os. They just left the website up and everything, made no announcement, made no attempt to help the community take over, just left the Github repo to rot: https://k3os.io/
Hard to have confidence in SUSE's commitment to another open source operating system side project after that. SUSE's announcement at the time:
Like SUSE, Rancher is 100% open source and equally as passionate as SUSE about true open source innovation, community empowerment, and customer success. SUSE and Rancher share the same goal – happy and satisfied customers.

I (still) run k3os, but it's dead since SUSE bought rancher. (see https://github.com/rancher/k3os/issues/846)

Any good howto set up your own full cluster?
I'm personally fond of https://k3os.io for my small to medium hobby and professional clusters. It comes with a lot the bells and whistles, but is also pretty minimum and just scales easily.

What is going on with Kubernetes Microdistros?
I really liked K3OS, but I feel like Rancher is no longer supporting it. The last commit on the k3os repo is from April, and before those three commits, November of last year. When Rancher decided to move their HCI offering, Harvester, over to RancherOS V2 being based on cOS toolkit/OpenSuse, I don't have high hopes that K3OS will be maintained.

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.
