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.

(help) best minimal distro for master nodes
kairos.io

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!

Upgrading Hundreds of Kubernetes Clusters
When it came to deployment, I had several options, and I chose the hard way: deploying Kubernetes on bare metal nodes using KubeSpray. Troubleshooting bare metal Kubernetes deployments honed my skills in pinpointing issues. This hands-on experience provided a deep understanding of how each component, like the Control Plane, kubelet, Container Runtime, and scheduler, interacts to orchestrate containers.

Zarf: K8s in Airgapped Environments
Worth noting that if you like ansible, Kubespray has had documented air-gap installation since 2018 https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/commit/963c3479...

How many of you are running kubernetes on prem?
About 1yr ago I ran k8s with 300 nodes using kube spray https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray . Never had any real issue with it. We did finally move to the cloud though.

Learning to setup my own k8s cluster
I would highly recommend https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray

Building your own Kubernetes distribution
We build our own distro called Compliant Kubernetes, and we use (a fork of) kubespray to install the base Kubernetes layer. Our distro is entirely open source, so you can use it as a reference, if you want.

Is being proficient in Kubernetes enough?
If you want to run Kubernetes on VM's you can look into kubespray and play around with the options for installing and checking the configuration after the fact.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing kairos and kubespray you can also consider the following projects:
homelab - Monorepo for my personal homelab
kubeadm - Aggregator for issues filed against kubeadm
talos - Talos Linux is a modern Linux distribution built for Kubernetes.
k3s - Lightweight Kubernetes
proxmox-k8s
rancher - Complete container management platform
k3os - Purpose-built OS for Kubernetes, fully managed by Kubernetes.
minikube - Run Kubernetes locally
elemental-toolkit - :snowflake: The toolkit to build, ship and maintain cloud-init driven Linux derivatives based on container images
kops - Kubernetes Operations (kOps) - Production Grade k8s Installation, Upgrades and Management
k3sup - bootstrap K3s over SSH in < 60s 🚀
