There's plenty that preferred Ubuntu's AppArmor (I don't use it, so I'm just reading comments). SELinux has contexts as meta information with each file (& directory), and requires a filesystem that supports it. It applies special or default rules depending on the filepath, but sets them in those filepath's metadata. AppArmor is a thing that sits between things and filepaths, and applies rules based on the filepath, and doesn't matter what file system is in use. The controls are not set into the filepaths' metadata. And there wouldn't be the relabelling that SELinux sometimes needs to fix things, just updates to the rules (as needed). So different applications of similar things. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
