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.

My question is simple: Which of these security features are not enabled/present in Ubuntu that give Fedora an advantage?
SELinux has a functional equivalent called Apparmor that is also enabled out of the box in most distros.
Selinux is more secure then app armor, but more difficult to use. Ubuntu is also pretty secure, I'm just not as familiar with it. I mentioned it for the privacy but, since it used to have some Amazon bloat crapped bundled and telemetry built in.
I have nothing against your personal preferences. But maybe compare today's Ubuntu vs Fedora. It would be a much more fair comparison.
I see zero reason to use Ubuntu over Fedora
What a fantastic internet argument.
why everything gotta be an argument, sometimes it's just fun to say your opinion like you would talking to someone in person. Wonder what it is about text chat that kind of changes the dynamic
