Many people, when they are installing a Linux distribution for a single
purpose such as
running containers, would prefer an install-and-forget
type of deployment. At FOSDEM 2023 in Brussels, several
projects of this minimal Linux distribution type were presented. Fedora
CoreOS, Ubuntu Core, openSUSE MicroOS, and Bottlerocket OS
all tackle this problem in their own way. The talks at FOSDEM gave an
interesting overview of how these projects differ in their approaches.
