The other major non-Linux operating systems do. Both Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS ship with active firewalls by default. Those are the real competitors, and they have a good UX for firewall handling so that users can Do The Right Thing(TM). FirewallD is a perfectly good firewall system, but we need a good frontend with integration for it to work well for the Workstation use-case. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
