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.

Introducing Kairos 2.2.0: extended ARM support!

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!

K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes

Cluster-API and alternative k8s distros - possible?
I have also been interested in this. I think you are looking for a custom bootstrap provider. I found this. But something similar might exist I didn't search much.

We build a controller to run Kubernetes on Hetzner Dedicated and Hetzner Cloud
The provider integration doesn't have any strong opinions on the installed kubernetes version. The cluster-api project and the two controllers cluster-api-bootstrap-provider-kubeadm and cluster-api-control-plane-provider-kubeadm are usually responsible for the kubernetes part. Right now we support in hcloud also talos based kubernetes and I found in a quick research this project: https://github.com/zawachte/cluster-api-k3s Which aims to do k3s with cluster-api. But I think if you're really interested in running k3s with cluster-api this is more a question to https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api
