1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Fedora doesn't have any more of a security focus than anything else in the industry

    It has SELinux, what does ubuntu (for example) has?

    AppArmor is great but it isn't nearly as powerful as SELinux. Way more user friendly though.

    It can be but it takes a lot more effort.

    SELinux: high bar to entry but extremely power right away

    Apparmor: lower bar to entry but much harder to get advanced functionality and control

    Yea, but there are also some things AppArmor just can't do. Although in my experience most aren't as big of a deal. Things like saying "only processes of this type can bind to port X" for example and much more fine grained control of file or directory actions. Does AppArmor provide kernel module controls?

    They both have really bad documentation though :(
