@DLink@posthat.ca So the user documentation is wrong or I didn't understand it. Well the user docs say GNOME doesn't have a firewall so you should get one. I don't know what the f that means. I loaded up the new Ubuntu LTS distro

@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange Gnome is the shell environment that Ubuntu includes. That's your window manager (essentially explorer.exe) and only one piece of the puzzle. Ubuntu is the OS, which is a lot of bundled software. Linux is the kernal, which is shared among all projects that people refer to as Linux.
Gnome wouldn't include a firewall, that would be up to Ubuntu. Gnome probably tells you that because it can be used for any distro, and it would be on the distro or kernal to include a firewall
