Maybe. I certainly have not used them all. Honestly it would sorta mean using one specific package manager and such so im not sure if what they are describing the way I read it is really feasable. I use a really easy out of box distro now so I only make a few decisions at install and mostly just hit enter and accept defaults for them.
You can install nix on most distro and mix and match packages. Things like docker flatpak etc can get you close to being technically distro less at the cost of some storage space for the distro bases.
True distrolessness is a thing almost no one would want. Build once install everywhere OTOH.
