AlmaLinux9.3 ; Various settings after installation

1. Disabling SELinux

First, disable selinux. selinux is a feature that improves auditing and security in Linux, but when enabled, it places considerable restrictions on the behavior of services and on what can be configured. Therefore, it is basically disabled in many cases.
SELinux operating modes
Enforcing : SELinux functionality is enabled and access control is enabled
Permissive : SElinux will warn, but no access restrictions will be placed
disabled : Both SElinux function and access control are disabled

Current SELinux status

Switching to [permissive] mode

Switching to [enforcing] mode

To completely disable SELinux, a reboot is required by adding selinux=0 to the kernel command line as follows

※ To return SELinux to active, do the following (reboot after changes)

2. System Modernization

Update packages as soon as possible after OS installation.
A kernel update may require rebooting the system or stopping services, or worse, a kernel panic may occur and the system may not boot. It is wiser to exclude the kernel from the update.
The kernel can be excluded from updates by running dnf -y update with "--exclude=kernel*" after it.
