    You can literally install Linux on a Mac. Even on MacOS you can run whatever app you want, there’s no need for sideloading.

      Well so can you install Linux on Windows, Windows on macOS, Windows on Linux, macOS on Windows and macOS on Linux.

      From that point of view, all OSs are identical (and to be fair, they pretty much are, nearly everything runs on a VM called ‘web browser’ already).

        Yeah but op specifically said Mac’s were “locked down” which is a misleading statement at best.

          a misleading statement at best

          The monstrous thing is locked down tightly on a hardware level that even they can’t repair it. And the hoops you have to jump through to install a software is getting ridiculous by the day - I’m saying this from my unfortunate opportunity to use a Mac. And you say that my statement is misleading? It’s true what they say - you Mac fanbois have deluded yourself out of touch with reality.

            I agree with you about the hardware. I was referring to the software.

            And the hoops you have to jump through to install a software is getting ridiculous by the day

            How? I have installed a variety of apps from different sources and I’ve never had any issue at all. It’s hard to take someone’s claim when they don’t have any concrete examples.
