I am not comfortable with hardened-kernel yet. I can’t give it as much time as it deserves. It’s still not having the maturity that I’ve set as a goal before recommending it to users of Whonix / Kicksecure. (Comparable to other Whonix packages.) See project status (written just today):
hardened-kernel
(And also improved hardened-kernel generally a bit.)
Will take time until these issues are solved.
None of the technical issues are not too hard to solve. Underlying issue are non-technical, lack of time and no current scaling issues of the Whonix project.
- Linus doesn't scale and Whonix social organization structure doesn't scale yet either
- Focus on low-effort maintainability - #2 by Patrick
Automated test suite:
- There’s an automated test suite that focuses on the kernel in development. That would help. Forum thread: automated test suite
- And there’s also another automated test suite in development which will help too. Forum thread: CS Student Capstone (Bachelor's Senior project) for Whonix
