    yes and no, yes it adds security to everything. But it can be a pain to setup right

    We Amazon linux 2023 and I have found out that AL2027 will have SELinux on by default, that great. But we have spent time removing all the SELinux stuff, now we need to relearn it all and get ready for the pain once more

        Tried to install ocaml and get a dev env working on Windows this week. I gave up.

        On Linux I was up and running in 15 minutes.

        that’s 99% of everything in Linux.

        Disagree. For years now I’ve almost never even had to think about a driver let alone spend an hour struggling to get one working.

    When SELinux is set-up wonderfully, it is certainly great! That part, well that is the pain in the ass. When I was daily driving openSUSE Tumbleweed, the selinux-gaming package made it so much easier to set sane permissions by default without much faffing around. Only a few times did I have to touch all files and do some other terminal command nonsense to fix SELinux during that period of use, now it’s not a problem anymore since I am on Garuda Linux.

    Knowing what I do now, if I every switched back to a distro that utilized SELinux, I’d take more time to carefully learn how to fully set it up!
