Linux permissions are obviously, straightforward, and very easy to change - They rule. SELinux permissions are impossible to see, seemingly pointlessly more complex, and I don’t know how to check them or change them i.e. They drool. As a power user who is constantly changing system stuff, installing weird stuff, running weird servers, disabling SELinux is like, step 2 of installing Linux for me. I have wasted whole days working out just that SELinux is causing my fucking issue, and then days more on how to fix the permissions, and then days more when those permissions RESET as it is wont to do and days more trying to make my needed changes permanent. Basically, I have wasted too much of my life faffing with a permissions layer that seems to be there solely as a ‘just in case’ my already existing permissions aren’t good enough.
