For those paranoiacs.
And Gentoo templates! 
edit: Gentoo templates are still messed up, why is there a Haskell compiler in profile 7? Not much fun, to compile that thing on a low-memory system...

It all depends on threat model. Currently Qubes fits it. I'd stay the fuck away from loonix/x86-64, once deploying things, but that is probably more than a year in the future anyway.

Alpine Linux and whonix are essentially the only secure Linux distros.

Whonix inside an initramfs, PXE loaded from a Pi/similar SBC hidden somewhere (full disk encrypted, remote unlocked), no local non volatile storage at all (except firmware EEPROMs, etc.)? I've already thought about something similar, but Gentoo based (Prototype. Gentoo, because you can easily strip the whole thing down to the bare minimum, USE flags, etc.). I'm actually using plain Whonix on Gentoo on another machine, way better in terms of resource usage (battery life, SSD space) than Qubes and doesn't shred itself randomly (systemd? Quality software engineering... Poettercrap).

For those paranoiacs.
I wouldn't be so sure about that:
Quote:
"x86 virtualization is about basically placing another nearly full kernel, full of new bugs, on top of a nasty x86 architecture which barely has correct page protection. Then running your operating system on the other side of this brand new pile of shit. You are absolutely deluded, if not stupid, if you think that a worldwide collection of software engineers who can't write operating systems or applications without security holes, can then turn around and suddenly write virtualization layers without security holes." - Theo de Raadt, founder of OpenBSD
Quote: https://archive.is/qBJHX
Isn't Xen a microkernel (these are supposed to be more secure?!), also there's some quite nice BTC bounty to port Qubes to PPC64 (at least Power9 has open firmware). In the long run, maybe RISC-V becomes interesting/battle tested enough for these things, but I'm not really familiar with this ISA (yet... )...
