ELux: Light-weight, Linux-based, highly secure operating system

Looks like rubbish, the page says nothing about how it is secure. I’m gonna guess it doesn’t even do half of what Qubes does.

It's basically a thin-client OS, it doesn't do even 0.1% of what Qubes does. If you dig into the documentation you will see an MSSQL template as its admin backend (yes, it's that bad) and each "application" backend is RDP, Citrix, or some functional analogue to such.

Total trash. Employee morale at absolute zero.

Is this a GPL-violating project? Where's the kernel source?

It's via Scout Enterprise which according to Fujitsu's link, has been ongoing since 2000 [1] additional at [2]

Look at this page and imagine being an employee using this stuff.
