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.

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.

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 :)

It’s an unnecessary layer of complexity. I am the only user of my personal laptop. I don’t need fine-grained permissions. Linux users and groups are enough for any permission needs I might have, like docker group, audio and video groups, etc. I don’t have any “classified” documents on my computer. My home directory and root are on different disks. I can easily format and reinstall my system if something goes wrong and keep all my personal data.

We have been doing that for centuries.

Iddon’t have a pebble watch but I find my smartwatch useful for reducing my screen time. when I get a notification, I look at my watch and don’t do anything else if it is not important, doesn’t require immediate answer. When I don’t have my watch, I look at my phone to see the notification, and check other stuff while I have my phone, like Instagram end Lemmy, and a single notification takes 20 minutes of my life.

Thank God! That’s a relief. I thought I was going to have to redo my entire photo library hosting stuff.

GNOME is great for Mac refugees. Fedora might do.

Can you elaborate?

Didn’t know about relativedelta. Thanks!

In fact, it would never equal 365 * 10 days.

You can mess up android by installing third party apps, using shizuku, or rooting. If there is a distro as strict as vanilla android is for the average user, then you are right. I’m talking no root, no sudo, only official flatpak apps can be installed and only user’s home directory is r/w.

Even for an intermediate user, immutable might be a good choice, but it is extra unneeded complexity for a beginner, according to my experience with those type of distro in the past.

But people are different. Some might feel right at home.

Developers, yes. Beginners, I don’t think so.

My advice would be, only use vanilla/default/official versions of the most popular distros. Ubuntu, not Ubuntu Studio, Fedora, not (I don’t know what variants there are) Fedora. Do not use specialized distros, for example a gaming distro. Do not use 3rd party repos. Do not manually install any packages from anywhere. If you want something and official repos of your official distro cannot do it, just don’t do it. Do not try to find a workaround and make it happen.

After using Linux for a while you’ll become more comfortable with it and you’ll slowly start moving outside the above limitations. The best and worst thing about Linux is that your OS is yours and you can tinker with all of its parts. But you shouldn’t, at the beginning. If you were to tinker with Windows like that, it would also break.

Started with git bare repos, moved to stow, now on chezmoi

started exactly the same, now using YADM and loving its simplicity.

why convert boolean to integer instead of converting the other operand to boolean? it doesn’t make sense.
