And Ubuntu, Mint, elementary, MX Linux, Solus, pop!_OS, as well. By
permissive, they all accept everything. Nothing is rejected or
dropped.
Mageia, and openSUSE do have a fair amount of iptables filtering
entries. e.g. openSUSE Tumbleweed lastest snapshot,

I didn't test Zorin because I couldn't get passed the paywall, and for
some reason Manjaro boots (kernel and initramfs) but then hangs during
startup and I don't really want to troubleshoot it.
Anyway, that rounds out the top ~10 distros, and Fedora Workstation is
definitely not the most permissive.

It's my understanding that most of these don't do SELinux either. I
choose Fedora (and RH) products because I like the extra thought put
into security that other distros haven't necessary done. If I wanted
an insecure system, I'd have selected one of the countless ones listed
in this thread that people insist on comparing Fedora's firewall to.
