   AppArmor vs SELinux Comments

   Positive comment by axonic · Jul 9, 2019

   AppArmor is easier to administer, but isn't a 1:1 replacement. MAC and RBAC are not synonymous. Additionally, AppArmor does not include security information for each data object based on what it is, but is based on directory structures or where things are. They are different approaches to a similar problem with different use cases.
