AppArmor.d

Full set of AppArmor profiles

AppArmor.d is a set of over 1500 AppArmor profiles whose aim is to confine most Linux based applications and processes.

Purpose

• Confine all root processes such as all systemd tools, bluetooth, dbus, polkit, NetworkManager, OpenVPN, GDM, rtkit, colord
• Confine all Desktop environments
• Confine all user services such as Pipewire, Gvfsd, dbus, xdg, xwayland
• Confine some "special" user applications: web browser, file browser...
• Should not break a normal usage of the confined software
