    Fedora and many other distros do a lot of valued work, too.

    FWICS there are FIPS kernel variants for Ubuntu <= 20.04 LTS (2020) but not 22.04 LTS (2022), and Debian and Ubuntu don't have the selinux policy set that Fedora and RHEL+EPEL have. https://ubuntu.com/kernel

    From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36480033 :

    > Would it be feasible to sed-replace the RHEL and/or Fedora selinux and container-selinux rulesets for use with other Linux distros?

    > "AFAIU only SUSE can run both AppArmor and SELinux?*

    > And browsers are running as unconfined in selinux with like all major distros; even on ChromiumOS

    Act like you added `systemd-nspawn respawn` to every SysV-init script and correctly formatted the epoch time in the correct column of each of the log files to merge and then logship again.

  • azurelinux

    Linux OS for Azure 1P services and edge appliances

  • k3os

    Discontinued Purpose-built OS for Kubernetes, fully managed by Kubernetes.

  • I still don't forgive SUSE for buying Rancher and then unceremoniously killing k3os. They just left the website up and everything, made no announcement, made no attempt to help the community take over, just left the Github repo to rot: https://k3os.io/

    Hard to have confidence in SUSE's commitment to another open source operating system side project after that. SUSE's announcement at the time:

    Like SUSE, Rancher is 100% open source and equally as passionate as SUSE about true open source innovation, community empowerment, and customer success. SUSE and Rancher share the same goal – happy and satisfied customers.
