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.
That Ubuntu and a handful of obscure distros do something does not mean that's
a good idea. These systems, except for Debian, also don't have SELinux or
AppArmor enabled by default.
