I am not sure. I personally don’t trust selinux because it was developed my the nsa, though that is just me being tinfoil-hat-ish about it. I am a fan of clamav / clamtk for files you think are sketchy (“alternatively obtained” games and things.) I also use ufw but that is more of a thing for servers if I’m not mistaken. If you use ssh server on your laptop, you should get fail2ban or sshguard. While the whole “Linux can’t get hacked” thing is wrong, as long as you stay updated and don’t be stupid you should be protected from automated scripts which is all desktop users really need to worry about.
Thanks for the time to anwser. What is the diffrents between ufw and systemds firewall ?
Which systemd firewall are you talking about?
I meant firewalld im sorry
They’re pretty similar but firewalld allows more complex rules without resorting to plain iptables syntax. Try both and see what you like better.
Use UFW - uncomplicated firewall. Some distros install it by default. Its very easy to use whereas other firewalls are super complicated
I currently use firewalld is their a diffrents in terms of security ?
No, only the configuration syntax is different. If you know what you’re doing in configuring them both are fine.
