Is there a decent summary of the various k8s derivatives/distributions/etc. anywhere? I'm aware of k3s and micro-k8s and I know there are others I've forgotten and a "here's which one to consider using for what" that none of the maintainers hate would be helpful but I've completely failed to find it if it already exists.
We wanted an installation of Kubernetes that was half the size in terms of memory footprint. Kubernetes is a 10 letter word stylized as k8s. So something half as big as Kubernetes would be a 5 letter word stylized as k3s. There is no long form of k3s and no official pronunciation.
Am I the only one who is tired of all these shorthand names?

Not a summary, but the CNFC landscape has the relevant links:
Platform - Certified Kubernetes - Installer (19)[0]
Platform - Certified Kubernetes - Hosted (45) [1]
Platform - Certified Kubernetes - Distribution (61)[2]
Even if you ignore the hosted offerings, that's still 80 different ways to install or setup a certified kubernetes cluster.
