System overview

CLIP OS is based on the Hardened Gentoo variant of Gentoo Linux.9 The developers have noted that whilst it has similar aims to Qubes OS, the environment isolation mechanism is different.10 Further, administrators on a CLIP OS system will not be able to access user data, unlike a Qubes-based system.
