    French cyber-security agency open-sources CLIP OS, a security hardened OS
    CLIP OS 4 and CLIP OS 5 now available to everyone on GitHub, not just French cyber-spies.

    Great, now all we need is for the English alpha to be stabilized so most of us can actually use it.

    Sounds interesting though. Will probably try it if it has UEFI SecureBoot support.

    Since Linux is based on the Unix framework which was originally developed with security being the primary concern, that is good enough for me.

    Well, OS X is also UNIX based.
    I'll wait until it gets time-tested. I remember Blackberry, dubbed secure OS, which later turned out not to be very secure.

    It requires Trusted Platform Module (TPM) v2.0 preferred, 1.2 accepted. There probably aren't a lot of people using hardware with it.

    Man i'm going to really run with this one. But not until absolutely certain the hardware requirements are available (which at present aren't), and of course when they let us American English language saps have a compatible version to our own lingo. Looks attractive though for now.
