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.

I've been very happy with both Silverblue and Kinoite. I've installed it to all of my workstations now and can't imagine ever going back to a traditional distro.
Your comments suggest that you're already aware of distros like Silverblue so, if I may ask, how are these different than what you're looking for? Silverblue comes with several flatpaks installed, but you can easily remove these and you'll be left with a pretty barebones ostree image.
