Yes, and no...
SELinux can still be involved in imposing restrictions on you, but NTFS
(and other filesystems, too) do not have any way of storing any SELinux
meta information that allows different access restrictions. So very
basic default permissions are being used, and are probably too
restrictive for your needs.
I was finally able to create my first VM on F43, but it is more
complicated than with VMware or VirtualBox. Specifically the first
running of virt-manager has to be done under sudo. This is so it
corrects permission issues. If you run virt-manager as a regular user
it complains about access and asks if you want to fix it, but if you
answer yes it fails with permission denied. So the issues seem more to
be about libvirt permissions than about SElinux issues since I didn't
get any SElinux alerts after creating my VM.
I've never seen this. I always run virt-manager as my user and I've
never had permissions issues with running Windows or various Linux
options, including Ubuntu at some point. The user you run virt-manager
as shouldn't even affect file permissions because it's only
communicating with the already running libvirtd, not doing anything itself.
