# Standard Linux Distribution
* First proposed: 2020-12-17
* Authors: Anders F Björklund (@afbjorklund)
## Reviewer Priorities
Please review this proposal with the following priorities:
* Does this fit with minikube's [principles](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/principles/)?
* Are there other approaches to consider?
* Could the implementation be made simpler?
* Are there usability, reliability, or technical debt concerns?
Please leave the above text in your proposal as instructions to the reader.
## Summary
Change the distribution (OS) for the minikube ISO, from Buildroot to Ubuntu.
## Goals
* Use one of the supported Kubernetes OS, like Ubuntu 20.04
* Use the same operating system for KIC base and ISO image
## Non-Goals
* Making major changes to the new standard operating system
* Support production deployments, still intended for learning
## Design Details
Use external system image and external packages, same as for KIC image.
Keep both images available (one being default), during transition period.
## Alternatives Considered
Continue to support custom distro, instead of using a standard distro.
Make current Buildroot OS into standard supported Kubernetes distribution.
