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 :)
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.
Your data can be encrypted with a ransomware attack. Including your backups. Your memory searched for browser cached passwords and account names.
You’re not with the effort? The effort is practically 0 these days. Bots written by AI don’t care. And your compute resources can be used to do more harm.

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

Plain and simple, with a supply chain attack.
