Manual pages, command line utilities, and “power” tools do not make a system usable for end users. Most of them do not need SELinux to protect them from rogue applications – a bug in the kernel or in a millions of lines of code not protected by SELinux will still tear down the system.

Why would a owner of a computer use SELinux at home? Simple, not primarily to protect himself from haxxors or even himself…. but also to protect himself or any other people that trust their personal belonging to your system, from buggy/rogue applications. More generally any system abnormalities.

I agree that there is still much room for improvement but i am confident that SELinux is beneficial for everyone.

I do not really know other peoples opinion on what a ‘user’ or a ‘fedora user’ is. I consider my mother a Fedora user. She’s running SElinux enforced and works in the confined user domain. I admit, she complained when she could not watch her favorite tv channel in big screen in firefox/nsplugin totem. I just told her it was just another error like so often happens and that people are working to solve any issue. A few weeks later the issue was cprrected just like i predicted and everything else works just fine. BTW my grandma runs Fedora in enforcing mode aswell. She is the user and i am the power user that is assuming administrator responsibilities over her system.
