The French government has released CLIP OS to the public. It is based on the Linux kernel with a GNU userspace and Gentoo Hardened as the base. The system has been developed for in-house use and is maintained by the National Cybersecurity Agency of France, or Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information (ANSSI). The kernel is hardened by a custom "Linux Security Module". The source for versions 4 and 5 of the whole distro are now released for public scrutiny and people are free to compile either. Version 5 has documentation in English. There are currently no plans to distribute binaries.

The French government's national cybersecurity agency has released an operating system built using open source components internally over the course of more than 10 years for use by the French administration.

Dubbed CLIP OS, the operating system is based on the open source Linux kernel, but focuses on security hardening and provides partitioning mechanisms that allow the processing of both public and sensitive information in isolation on the same computer.

    Can you see it? Can you feel it? A conspiracy is underfoot. No one was capable of feeling that more clearly than the target of the conspiracy: Nickelson.

    Nickelson was sweating profusely. How could he not, possessing the knowledge that he's the target of a vast conspiracy? Anyone would be nervous under these circumstances. But, how did he know, exactly? How did Nickelson know about this conspiracy? Was he crazy, or was there actually evidence? Oh, there was ample evidence: They broke too quickly.

    They. Them. Those. Nickelson had only played with them for a few minutes before they broke. That was too suspicious! Sure, children were weak and fragile creatures, but a little game shouldn't cause them to become worthless lumps of meat! Thus, Nickelson concluded that those children were part of a sinister plot to deprive him of his satisfaction in life: Beating and violating children.

    Seething. Nickelson was seething with rage. He had to strike back. He had to fight against his oppressors. And he had to win! Nickelson carefully planned out his next moves, and then set his plan into motion...

    It didn't take long before the vengeful man found those children's friends. Nickelson, with great haste, grabbed them and began violently mashing his genitals together with theirs. They screamed. They screamed and cried and begged for Nickelson to stop, but he simply chortled. You see, the man loved to make them squeal until their vocal cords gave out. "Ah, this is the best revenge!" the man spat out. But, he would soon discover that he had underestimated the true scale of the conspiracy.

    Yes, they had been in on it too. All the children's friends he gathered broke in mere minutes. They had just been strangled, stabbed, mutilated, and violated, and yet they had become silent already!? This was no coincidence. Nickelson began sweating profusely after comprehending that the conspiracy was vast indeed. Then, he came to a conclusion.

    Their friends. Their friends' friends. Their friends' friends' friends. Nickelson would have to bring justice down upon them all, and more! For freedom, for justice, and for peace, Nickelson would have to violate them all...

    Nickelson would spend the rest of his life battling against the Machiavellian figures that sought to destroy his life, leaving behind a mountain of corpses as he did so. However, he soon discovered that they, too, were part of the conspiracy, driving him into an endless cycle of madness from which he could never return...
