Note that Apple has been slowly moving to restrict that ability in MacOS as well. Each release makes it harder to install applications from developers that haven't kissed Apple's ring.

It shows how to enable non-App Store applications by identified developers, and also how to open applications it can't verify (I rarely run into this, but occasionally with open source software or niche tabletop gaming software). https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491#:~:text=View%20the%20app%20security%20settings%20on%20your%20Mac&text=In%20System%20Preferences%2C%20click%20Security,%E2%80%9CAllow%20apps%20downloaded%20from.%E2%80%9D https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491#:~:text=View%20the%...
- RonanTheGrey 6y agoGot you, thank you very much!
