I thought they got rid of the iguana mascot.
I guess they realized that it was the best thing about their brand.

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 believe it's a chameleon.
Meh, SELinux, AppArmor, I don't know how to configure either.
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.
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.
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.
