Ask HN: Linux distro based on Docker images?

Was it RancherOS?

> RancherOS is the smallest, easiest way to run Docker in production. Every process in RancherOS is a container managed by Docker. This includes system services such as udev and syslog. Because it only includes the services necessary to run Docker, RancherOS is significantly smaller than most traditional operating systems.

Thank you, but this is not it. It was an end-user distro, just used Docker images instead of a normal package manager.

Darch? https://godarch.com/

You are welcome!

For completeness, since all the other “functional” distros that I know of were mentioned in the thread, there’s also: https://distr1.org/
