Am I wrong in thinking that Ubuntu has apparmor configured by default?



Yes, Ubuntu has AppArmor and Fedora (RHEL, et. al.) have SELinux.

The problem is that both systems are quite difficult to use properly. The out-of-the-box configuration is good for a base increase in overall system security against common threats.

However, if you want the real isolation benefits that these MAC systems are capable of providing, you'll need a full-time security team with years of training to manage your personal desktop.
