About a week ago I setup Ubuntu as my primary OS on an old machine. It is my first time trying a unix based OS (previously windows). It has been ok, but it seems like every time I try to install something I run into problems. The app has the wrong permissions or I don’t have the right packages or I need to change port settings ect… I was expecting a learning curve but I wanted to know if this is something I should expect to be a long term issue or if I will aquire the skills to side step stuff like this over time?
I guess they have some selinux stuff implemented?
Ubuntu has apparmor but I’ve rarely run into that to be honest. My guess is either sandboxing or telling daemons to operate on directories created by the normal user account. It’s hard to tell what the problem is without more details.
