France's DINUM Has Been Running NixOS on Internal Workstations With Sécurix

It's FOSS reports that DINUM, France's Interministerial Directorate for Digital Affairs, has been using NixOS on internal workstations for months through Sécurix, an MIT-licensed, security-hardened NixOS configuration built to ANSSI security guidelines under the cloud-gouv GitHub organization rather than a fork. Sécurix is in alpha with v0.20.1 its newest release, uses FIDO2 hardware security keys with TPM2 and YubiKey support, and is targeted at roughly 250 staff workstations after a 70-machine pilot, with a companion Bureautix template for office desktops. The article places the effort alongside the Netherlands' DAWO initiative and Denmark's work as European governments pursue vendor-neutral, reproducible infrastructure, noting the NixOS Foundation is a Dutch nonprofit.
