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!
https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos updates!

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!

How I ended up using Colima for Docker on Apple Silicon
While looking into the issue with Podman, I came across colima. Apart from being able to run AMD64 images out of the box, there were additional benefits to it, one of which was, unlike podman, colima could use Rosetta 2 for x64 emulation (which is significantly more performant).

Lcl.host: fast, easy HTTPS in your local dev environment

Damn Small Linux 2024
You might look into CoLima as a way to get started.
https://github.com/abiosoft/colima?tab=readme-ov-file
Its user interface is Docker-like, using containers.
For full desktop, I've only used the commercial app "Parallels", which can set up an Ubuntu desktop for you. Also Fedora and Alpine and Debian I believe.
But
> I don't really have any resources to share. I just know how to boot a vmlinuz with an initramfs using QEMU, and decided to download the Linux kernel source code and try compiling it.
I highly recommend working through Linux from Scratch and possibly the Gentoo Handbook. It's a journey.

Howto: WASM runtimes in Docker / Colima
I could not find any guide how to add WASM container capability to Docker running on Colima. This guide provides a few Colima templates for exactly this, which adds WasmEdge, Wasmtime and Wasmer runtime types.

Podman Desktop v1.5 with Compose onboarding and enhanced Kubernetes pod data
After docker desktop became unusable, I jumped to colima and never looked back. I still use the docker runtime in it (the non-proprietary part) but it also supports containerd. On Mac it's just a "brew install colima" and then "colima start"
I also install the compose and ecr credentials plug-ins (since I use ecr for my container registry.) It has the full functionality of docker desktop minus the UI, which I never used anyways.

K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes
On my M1 Pro system, I have nothing but positive things to say about the experience of using Colima (https://github.com/abiosoft/colima). Quick to set up and fast to use.

UTM – Virtual Machines for iOS and macOS
I'd say Lima and Colima should be enough for most use cases:

[3] I’m on OrbStack now, but it isn’t so much better at how I use Docker than Colima is that I think that it’s an instant buy, especially with the planned subscription model. If I used anything other than the Docker integration, I might think it's better, but as of right now, no.
I also have some issues with its insistence on asking for elevated permissions. I will never grant permission[4] to make a symlink to the "standard" Docker socket; context and `$DOCKER_HOST` work well enough. It should not ask if the permission hasn't been given once. I also worry about other "advanced" features that may need an elevated permissions helper[5].
