I would kill for QubesOS features in NixOS (infosec.pub)

Meaning, VMs with Xen and hardware virtualization support

The system VM/Qube for USBs is isolated, the Network VM/Qube is separate and isolated, the windowing system and OS housing the qubes is isolated....

And being able to configure all of those with Nix would be a wet dream come true

@yboutros Sounds like https://spectrum-os.org but also you want Xen, not KVM

I'm sure both are good, I've just heard Xen is better for isolation. I'll check out spectrum-os, although I am starting to get used to the NixOS monolithic kernel architecture, an linux OS with nixpkgs is the next best thing
