K3s seems like a terrible name, given how people will be confused with the numeronym for Kubernetes.
That's the joke, though? It's k8s, but "smaller".
"Our name is literally a complex joke about complexity" doesn't inspire confidence in a project that supposedly simplifies complexity.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What is the official kubernetes distribution called?
There isn't one — the official docs give instructions for kubeadm, kOps, and kubespray. k3s would be an alternative to those.
It was 01:30. About to go to bed. Next day would fly with my daughter to holidays. I checked the apps of a bunch of clients. None of them loaded. I was like what... I checked the server. Everything down. I'd been running Kubernetes on Digital Ocean. And Digital Ocean forced a Kubernetes update that was incompatitable with mine at night. Took me 8 hours to fix it. No sleep. Ended up moving it back to a good old VPS. A…

What are the three letters? It only makes sense for being confusing, which is the base state of Kubernetes. "Our name is literally a complex joke about complexity" doesn't inspire confidence in a project that supposedly simplifies complexity.
On the bright side you can put whatever you want there. Personally I read k3s as "kerts", because why not. Similar to "thirds" but with the "t" from kubernetes.

Well, for me the whole replace-letters-with-numbers thing is idiotic and requires some inside knowledge to understand which letters are replaced by all the numbers in words like a11y i19n k8s, etc. On the bright side you can put whatever you want there.

have a look at k3s and maybe you will like kubernetes more again. There is no magic to it. Have a faulty node? spin up a new one.
And if your hoster is kind enough, there will even be apis with cloudinit for you to do that.
Im not trying to imply that you need a managed k3s with this post, but rather trying to show how easy kubernetes can be if you leave the big clouds and try not to overcomplicate things.
