    I really don’t see how anyone can install malware on my computer. I know my way around computers enough to not do anything dumb. Of course if someone wanted, they would be able to hack my device, probably. But I am not a high value target and it would be a waste of their time and effort. In short, that’s a risk I am willing to take :)

      So you think NONE of the software you use will ever get an exploit? “Not do anything dumb” only covers some threats, not all.

        No. I mean why wouild anyone target me? I am behind my home router most of the time, without any exposed ports. I am not saying “SELinux is unnecessary”. The post asked for my reasons to dislike.

        Yes. That’s fair. It’s an actual, realistic threat. But personally, I don’t provide any services to anyone and my data is periodically backed up to my NAS and cloud. But that’s me. I can imagine other scenarios that would definitely require SELinux.
