Meh, SELinux, AppArmor, I don’t know how to configure either.

No need too, the great folks that maintain the distro do the hard work for you.

Until it starts breaking, like it did for me upgrading from Fedora 39 to 40 for example.

Or until you try to bind mount a volume of a container and need to use z or Z flags.

Yeah. I’m confident in this change thanks to my equal discomfort configuring either SELinux or whatever OpenSUSE has. Hooray!

But joking aside, this sounds like a good thing and I appreciate all the folks who do understand that stuff and have worked hard on it.

Great decision! Not only does this make Tumbleweed match MicroOS better, but also the RHEL-based distros. SELinux is not super obvious to use, of course, but I’ve never understood how AppArmor works.

I thought they got rid of the iguana mascot.

I guess they realized that it was the best thing about their brand.

I believe it’s a chameleon.
