This is a surprising article because I kind of see this in light of the old Linux/BSD wars?
“Red Hat owned making this policy apply to most of the popular software they distribute. On Debian the users have to set everything up.” — this sentiment is directly parallel to how BSDs see themselves as providing a whole consistent operating system, Linux meanwhile just wants to ship a kernel.
“Debian doesn't care enough about security.” — says everyone who runs OpenBSD.
“With SELinux policies, containers are isolated from the system.” — you could almost say they are “in jail,” maybe we could package this up as a syscall, hm, but what to call it...
IDK what BSD looks like in 2024, but in ~2004 you would have seen this exact same article about Debian, but comparing to FreeBSD instead of RHEL.

Linux is just an OS kernel. If you want a consistent OS, use RHEL, Ubuntu, Fedora, Android or something else.
