This is not a troll post. I’m genuinely confused as to why SELinux gets so much of hate. I have to say, I feel that it’s a fairly robust system. The times when I had issues with it, I created a custom policy in the relevant directory and things were fixed. Maybe a couple of modules here and there at the most. It took me about 15 minutes max to figure out what permissions were being blocked and copy the commands from. Red Hat’s guide.
So yeah, why do we hate SELinux?
Nothing wrong with it
It was built years ago by the NSA but I’m sure that by now any backdoors nwould have been found
Having said that: it could use some rework to become more intuitive, especially with the error messages and how to resolve them
