Unless there's a serious fault, SELinux doesn't prevent you from installing software, nor prevent things from working properly. It does prevent things from working abnormally. And doesn't get in the way in the normal run of things. I can't say the same for protective software on Windows. It frequently does break the normal behaviour of the system. > So I decided to turn off SELinux even though it was not the thing > to do according to the loader. I am glad I did so.
