If your goal is a usable immutable distro, selinux is the wrong tool. It just doesn't operate at the layer of creating a linux distro, or declaring what containers are running, or declaring a list of flatpak apps, or whatever.
My point, by comparing selinux to "mount" and calling them equally useless, was not that they are not useful tools in their niches.
My point was that they are useless if your goal is to build a usable immutable distro.
SELinux is a hammer that cannot be used to turn a default debian installation into a usable immutable linux distro. The initial claim of "using SELinux rather than a dedicated distro can work" was nonsense, so of course the thread of replies off this is nonsense. GIGO as they say.
- Zurrrrr 4y ago> SELinux is a hammer that cannot be used to turn a default debian installation into a usable immutable linux distro. It's only a hammer if you use it as one. It's a very fine grained tool and it can be as precise as you want it to be. > The initial claim of "using SELinux rather than a dedicated distro can work" was nonsense It wasn't at all, and it's baffling to me why anyone would claim so.
