It's cool to customize it! And easy! But OpenBSD "seems to be more secure" than GNU/Linux. And Linux is huge! And OpenBSD has some awesome software: pf, spamd, httpd, and some other stuff that their marketing tells me is good. Maybe a good first step would be for guix to provide a hardened linux package. > Well, Debian is working (maybe the project is stalling?) on running GNU > userland using GLibc on the top of a FreeBSD kernel.

I would love to use a secure, extensible, microkernel/exokernel that has a universal guixy configuration language. Guix GNU/Hurd System vm is probably the best candidate for this, but my understanding is that the "childhurd" (a GNU/Hurd running on top of GNU/Linux) is not very stable. Possibly because the vm image does not have a swap space. There was an open bug report for it but I cannot find it. Has anyone here had a good experience with a childhurd? Not a criticism, I just have not heard many people say that the childhurd is stable/awesome. > > I think, similar as Josselin, that it requires a lot of work because > many low-level features are kernel dependant.
