For my phone, I use Graphene OS. What would be the best desktop Linux option to match the level of security and privacy that GOS provides?

    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.

      One thing I noticed with Ubuntu running an nginx reverse proxy, is that it’ll spin up multiple processes if you are proxying more than one Web service and (I think I’ve diagnosed this correctly) due to this app armour profiling breaks.

      I think at this point, containerizing nginx with either lxd or docker using apparmor is the next best move. I know SElinux takes things further, but just thought I’d highlight a simple work around. I know people opinion on snaps, but they also use apparmor.

      I have nothing against your personal preferences. But maybe compare today’s Ubuntu vs Fedora. It would be a much more fair comparison.
