So it does work fully on distros without systemd? The distros i’ve tried so far either have no support or limited support, so i assumed it to have something to do with lack of systemd. They usually rely on apparmor instead.
Gentoo doesn’t indicate there would be any issue with installing SELinux on an OpenRC system, and I can’t see anything anywhere that suggests the requirements differ by init system.
That must be it then, in that case i was talking out of my ass lol. From what i remember Void linux doesn’t mention selinux at all in the handbook. Now i’m using Guix and decided to check the documentation, they do support it but it has limitations it seems. Never bothered to look into selinux when i was still on systemd distros, so i mistakenly assumed it had something to do with that.
Never used it, but i think that’s also because it doesn’t work on distros without systemd. So i guess that’s a reason to dislike it?
Wut? No.

It’s a kernel feature with some user-space utilities.
It also seems to be a “RedHat” thing primarily - Debian systems tend to prefer apparmor. You may have been noticing that instead?
