If I'm not mistaken, firewalld is part of the default Fedora
installation package, and is loaded at boot if you haven't done anything
to disable it. Run this in a terminal as yourself:
ps aux | grep firewalld | grep -v grep
"systemctl status firewalld" seems to work as my user, although I don't
know if it's because I'm wheel as well.
and if you get any output, you have a firewall that's probably better
integrated into your system than any third-party program is likely to be.
Yes. It doesn't detect malware like those other programs do, but if you
are sensible with what you open or download, it doesn't matter.
