From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What level of involvement are you looking for in setting up the host os?
I'm a NixOS fan because once you painstakingly get the configuration file set up you basically never need to do it again. If you don't need anything outside of nixpkgs it's easy, otherwise it's terrible. Docker is available in nixpkgs.
