I think SELinux is convenient or inconvenient depending on context.

For example on Android I find it's mostly convenient because it's been (IMO) well integrated into the system in such a way that I will only have to dig into it if I'm building a custom ROM or debugging an issue with native code.

I find the defaults on Fedora (and I guess CentOS also) to be pretty good as well, lately.

However I have my reservations about trying to implement it on top of any system that wasn't designed with it in mind. And it's important to think of each Linux distro as a unique whole system design in this context.

I have no idea how inconvenient it would be to try and start running SELinux on Ubuntu, for example, though I know there's support for it in the repos.

I've considered it, but it's like taking a vaccine where the side effects might actually outweigh the benefits, on consideration.

So by extension hadfg is an antivaxer? That's some pretty hardcore extrapolation you've got going on there.

I read it as exaggeration for comic effect. Maybe a cultural difference - it's a common way to make a point here in Britain.

Maybe. In Australia we call it "jumping to conclusions" or "unfounded accusations".

This Australian disagrees. C'mon man, consider the tone of the OP.

Consider the tone of my remark about what we call it.

Nah mate, I'm Australian and I understood pretty easily that it was a simile or parallel, not an accusation.

It's both, actually. Try reading the original "accusation" in a very sarcastic tone.

Poe's law and all.
