The Linode kernel does not support SELinux by default. However, all new Linodes running CentOS 8 use the distribution provided kernel, which has **SELinux enabled by default**.
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If your system is running a Linode kernel, you will need to change to an upstream kernel in order to use SELinux. See the [How to Change Your Linode's Kernel](/docs/guides/managing-the-kernel-on-a-linode/) for more steps. Once you're kernel is set to the upstream kernel, continue on with the steps in this guide.

Permissive mode is useful when configuring your system, because you and your system's components can interact with your files, scripts, and programs without restriction. However, you can use audit logs and system messages to understand what would be restricted in enforcing mode. This will help you better construct the necessary policies for your system's user's and programs.
