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.

I'm not taking opiates. And the wine is a really really cheap Aldi special.
