> You say you need a distro which to me implies you want packages and a repository and updates, installation of packages on the fly, etc. But you also say you want to make a final image with nothing extra except your main apps, which makes me think you don't want a distro.

Isn't this basically what you get when using any minimal install type distro as a base, and also when building Docker images via Nix or similar?
