From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't mind the old kernel, packages, etc. However, one of my biggest problems with debain so far is that SELinux isn't installed by default..... I've installed and enabled it but it doesn't seem to let me SSH in. I'm still troubleshooting but its annoying to have to fight with it.
I'd love to continue to use Fedora but I have no faith in RedHat. They don't give a shit about their community anymore, including Fedora, so I believe its just a matter of time before that's dead too.
Fedora will probably get forked by the companies supporting enterprise Linux.
I am even more concerned about GNOME, since that will affect the majority of Linux distros or spins.
NSA SELinux is hard to configure/use. There was this exploit https://github.com/stealth/troubleshooter which some even called a backdoor rather than a vulnerability.
Do not trust anything that comes from a 3 letter government agency
So what should I use instead? Nothing?
I guess maybe docker does isolation so I could run all my apps in there.
I think Ubuntu has apparmour which they made themselves. Maybe look into that?
