Talos is really awesome, its a minimal OS strictly built to run kubernetes. We use it at work and its running in production for a lot of people. Its extremely minimal and can only be used via its own api, talosctl command. Its minimalism makes it great for security and less resource heavy than alternatives.
Check this out for a quick' funny taste of why one should consider using Talos >>

Talos is under MPL 2.0, afaik that is open-source.








Punycode is an ASCII‑compatible encoding that converts Unicode domain names, eg. containing non‑ASCII characters, into a limited character set using the “xn--” prefix so they can be used in the "normal" DNS system.
For ex: the domain bücher.de is represented in Punycode as xn--bcher-kva.de, test it if u like 😊
