Zorin OS 16.2 does not include SELinux by default. If you wish to install and enable SELinux, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal and run the following command to install SELinux utilities:
```
sudo apt-get install policycoreutils selinux-utils selinux-basics
```
2. After installing the SELinux utilities, run the following command to enable SELinux:
```
sudo selinux-activate
```
3. The above command will prompt you to reboot your system. After rebooting, SELinux should be enabled on your system.

Note that SELinux can be complex to configure and may cause issues with certain applications or system components. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with SELinux and its configuration options before enabling it on your system.

It is pretty safe, for a normal user. Also, does you newer machine becuase it is causing issues like screen flickering & system crash in mine, no matter what I try. Is it stable for you?

Be sure to first create a system image if you decide to enable SELinux. I tried it briefly some years ago, not really knowing what I was doing, and locked myself out of my system after enabling it.

Running Zorin 16.2 in VMware, for about 4 days now, seems rock solid, and stable, good sound and video (eg youtube). Sometimes I just MT @Bot to see how it answers or to lead me to look for additional info from other sources.
