Who wouldn't? Even if it's a security system created by a government agency which could have rigged it for a way to break it that's kept secret by them, it's still better than a complete lack of such a security system which hackers other than the absolute most experienced would find a way to break through.

However, disabling SELinux on some desktops is reasonable because there are many cases for which it's inconvenient and getting in the way of many things when there's no perspective of a dedicated sysadmin on what justifies the annoyance of that.

I recently looked into SELinux, but it's main selling points seemed to be covering people's asses if they were reckless with basic filesystem permissions in the first place. What can it really do for me?
