From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There is Dahlia OS which looks fairly promising but development takes time and it is only a small amount of people.

I like the idea of the OS being more embedded focused like Android and Chrome OS but I don't want Chrome or Google.

Is there anything else I should look at?

"Cloud Native" means uBlue's OS images are basically Docker images, but meant tu run on bare metal instead of inside virtualization, that are built automatically with GitHub actions.

The project itself is super interesting. It's not a distro, it's an alternative automated build pipeline toolkit for Silverblue/CoreOS that lets anyone build their perfect atomic image. It's still 100% Fedora+rpmfusion under the hood.

UBlue's official images have massive quality of life improvements over Silverblue.
