Fairly new to Linux and only just started tinkering.

I've come across firewalld and iptables on my cyber travels. I've been playing with iptables as this is what we use at work. However I'm a little confused.

Is firewalld what iptables is going to be replaced by across all distributions of Linux?

Is iptables and firewalld just distribution specific?

What are the main differences between firewalld and iptables, except for syntax and commands?
