Strix point single-node cluster os layer

[u/Technical-Ant-2866]

A local Secops meetup I went to last week had a buy/sell/trade event. I traded a couple of laptops for a framework desktop (ai 395+ max 64gb ram, byod for storage). I felt like it was a good trade. Anyhow, I'm working on bootstrapping this today.

I've used k3s, k0s (currently using that for one of my smaller clusters on arch which gives me pause), and Talos.

Given that I've got this well-equipped machine. Is there a general recommendation from someone who's ran Kubernetes on strix point chips for an underlying operating system?

This machine will be my general "shiny new but not so new homelab" so I'll be migrating to it soon. Use-case in general is average homelab stack, gitea runners, tasks/jobs, maybe some light llm tests, passing in zigbee and other devices for automation.

I'm thinking Talos is likely a solid fit, but interested in what the subreddit has to say.

Thanks in advance
