@thevoidzero @gencha What I like about GNU/Linux is precisely it’s configurability, I can use whatever desktop I want, whatever greeter I want, whatever kernel I want, whatever applications I want for a given purpose, on damned near whatever hardware I want, I mean someone recently even got Linux to boot on a 4004, it took three days but it booted. I am curious how they pulled that off without an MMU and I can only imagine the amount of paging involved with it’s 12 bit address space, but point is what you can do is almost infinitely variable. Some may use a distro because it makes software work together well, but I use it as a starting point and modify it to my needs and wants. With Windows or MacOS, I got one Desktop, one provided kernel, a more limited range of supported hardware, and close to zero customization options aside from very basic things like desktop background and color schemes.
@rotopenguin @IceFoxX SELinux comes pre-installed on all Redhat derived systems and is an option in all Debian based systems, though I prefer AppArmor, it is just easier to configure and breaks fewer things.
