I'm happy with Gatekeeper and SIP so far. I don't believe Apple will ever totally wall off macOS like iOS. If I ever truly want to mess around with the OS I'll install Linux. My computing platforms present far more risk to me these days than they did years ago. I need the system integrity protected, I don't want untrusted code running on my Mac.
These aren't like the days back when I could self install Linux and expose it to the internet while I configured it.
- xmodem 7y agoIf anything, iOS is moving in the direction of being less walled off.
- jbverschoor 7y agoIt’s not. It’s just providing some hooks. I’m looking forward to iPadOS. All the heaven from iOS in terms of sandboxing and no background tasks (except very well defined). Also Catalina afaik will make an os partition which cannot be tampered with.
- pjmlp 7y agoCatalina requires all apps to be notorized, for the time being it is still possible to explicitly allow it on case by cases base, as root. Which is a very good thing on my book. Today it is Google's Keystone, tomorrow it is some scummy app downloaded by a grandpa thinking it was a link actually sent by one of his grandsons about their birthday party.
