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.
