On episode 41 of the Full Stack Journey podcast, we go back to basics to talk about Linux and purpose-built Linux distributions with Tim Gerla and Andrew Rynhard of Talos Systems. In particular, the discussion focuses on the Talos open source project, which is aimed at building a fit-for-purpose OS designed expressly for running Kubernetes. We cover topics including: * What is Talos? * Why a new OS? Why not build on top of previous open-source efforts? * How would someone new to the technology get started? * Are there other technologies folks need to know before using Talos?
