How much "vibe" is in RakuOS and some other Questions!

Hey RakuOS Team,

congratulations for climbing up the Distrowatch charts! Looks like a lot of people want to get rid of rpm-ostree (including me). Seems you hit a nerve there thats worth to follow.

1.

Since RakuOS is quite young Distro i get that some hard edges are to be expected, but i had an especially bad experience with trying out distrobox on the niri image. Broken fish shell errors and distrobox-export not working (my guess this is related to each other). So it would be nice to ship a small default working distrobox config that fixes those issues. Is that something i can feature request or is this planned already by you guys? :D

2.

Also i saw that you removed SElinux from the initramfs in the rakuOS repos?

Since Initramfs is now unrestricted at boot initilisation it is vulnerable to a lot of persistence attacks. Whats the reason behind this worrisome change or s there an replacment for the now missing enforced restrictions and labels at that SELinux provided at boottime ?

3.

Last Topic would be LLM usage in RakuOS is there an disclaimer somewhere for what Ai tools are used in the development process of RakuOS? I think this would be a good and much appreciated addition to the Docs/FAQ in terms of transparancy.

4.

What happend to the middle click copy and paste feature in RakuOS. Sometimes it works but only within one app. most of the time it does not at all? Is there a config setting i can adjust to get reliable mark & paste via middleclick back?

Thanks in advance and all the best to the whole RakuOS Team

1. Will reference the Niri maintainer in Discord

2. Switched from SElinux to apparmour

3. LLM is only really used in commit messages, but a disclaimer will be added

4. Not sure about the middlw click copy and paste, if your using cosmic it might be buggy or only supported in some apps.

I saw that SELinux got replaced with apparmor but all the protection functionality is absolutly not replaced by apparmor! Like i said for example the initramfs is now unprotected & vulnerable to persistence attacks and you simply removed a security feature without replacing that functionalty that SELinux offered before? Thats seems not like a  very professional approach in my opinion.

So  you choose to put rakuOS users in security jeopoardy and probably most of them are not even aware! Why not offering them a choice instead or at least warn them that their initramfs is now vulnerable because you removed SELinux boundaries from initramfs (and probably a lot of other places too)

Distrobox workflows probably aswell not proetected at all anymore in RakuOS... :-(

You can't really offer choice between SELinux and Apparmor cause they are build into image and with kernel, switch from Selinux was mentioned in discord and blog, and from what I know (my knowledge is very limited tho) initramfs protection handle Secureboot and encrypted /boot.
