I don't have a running Ubuntu 26.04 distribution but I would say it is still the
case if 26.04 is still running AppArmor.

Users will face the same error as before which is:

  bb.fatal("User namespaces are not usable by BitBake, possibly due to AppArmor.\n"
           "See https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-04-lts-noble-numbat-release-notes/39890#unprivileged-user-namespace-restrictions for more information.")

In OE-Core's meta/lib/oe/sanity.py.

This sounds like something we could say in the docs. Would you mind sending a
patch for that?

Thanks,
Antonin
