live usb and editting the /etc/sysconfig/selinux and setting selinux to disabled.
is it ok if I keep it that way? I'm kinda scared of turning it back on and getting another boot error.
Do you need SELinux? If not you're OK. If you do take some time to understand how it works and some common operations related to it
I didn't even know what it was before this issue tbh
Selinux is an framework to limit what processes can do. Lets take httpd as an example: it only needs access to /var/www and maybe some ports on localhost. If somehow someone gets an remote execution inside httpd he gets errors, because selinux forbids the attacker from running an shell or an uploaded file. This is especially important for processes that run as root and cannot limited in another way.
