  • For many years I installed Fedora from scratch (almost as if my PC was a Linux container and then added a kernel setup) to be exactly as I wanted it no cruft, no bloat. I did that with other distros as well, Debian didn’t recommend SELinux.

    Last year I installed it from scratch using the installer and that included SELinux. With changes in SELinux policy, I found an installed flatpak which successive iterations didn’t like SELinux or tried to operate outside it. Fixing it was easy but I didn’t do so until I understood why it was violating.

    I had unknowingly subscribed to the FUD about SELinux, I doesn’t get in my way. Maybe I’m not as elite as I thought I was!
