https://kairos.io/docs/reference/faq/ I was wondering how it compares to Talos and now I'm confused. Is it basically a bootloader+host kernel shim and nothing else?
I'm (still) very interested about this project. Two years ago, I came across this when setting up a Raspberry Pi based "home lab" Kubernetes cluster (https://github.com/tantalic/shaving-yaks). I ran into some issues (I believe all Raspberry Pi specific) and ended up going with k0s. While I am happy with k0s, I do wish Kairos worked out for me and I might have to give it a try again soon.
Been successful using Kairos to build and deploy an immutable RHEL9 to environments without internet access. Appreciate the flexibility to work with different distros and the maintainers provide great support.
We faced a similar need and wanted something more "familiar". We built EtchaOS as an in-memory, immutable variant of popular distributions like Debian, bundled with Docker and containerd, and powered by an imperative, stateful configuration management tool (Etcha):
