    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 :)

        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.

          Your data can be encrypted with a ransomware attack. Including your backups. Your memory searched for browser cached passwords and account names.

          You’re not with the effort? The effort is practically 0 these days. Bots written by AI don’t care. And your compute resources can be used to do more harm.
