Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there’s a good argument the author’s concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

I think OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has SELinux enabled now too. I’m not sure what you mean by all over the system, as I’m not that familiar with SELinux yet. I believe that Tumbleweed used to use AppArmor but recently switched to SELinux? I also believe that Leap (the stable version of OpenSUSE) still uses AppArmor.

Based on opensuse’s docs, it seems to be in permissive state, whereas on my Fedora by default:

$ selinuxenabled  && echo yup
yup
$ getenforce
Enforcing

Not sure if the warm fuzzy feelings I get from this are justified (like what are the actual applied rules on apps? I have no idea), but it is a bit warmer and fuzzier.

I see, thanks, I didn’t know the details. I just had a faint recollection that they had switched from AppArmor to SELinux.
