You could switch and not buy Apple hardware. IMO, they became too heavy handed a pretty long time ago.

  `sudo spctl --master-disable` to disable Gatekeeper, and `csrutil disable` in Recovery Mode to disable rootless/System Integrity Protection. Just like that, it's a Mac from a decade ago in openness.

    It's also immediately a Mac from a decade ago in security. Heavy-handed or not, that is something people tend to forget (and no, it's not perfect security, but definitely more secure than allowing root at runtime).

    The risk is, when will they disable those commands?

  Any particular laptop to recommend? I am looking for a new laptop and haven't found anything similar to the MacBook Air (I hate the touchbar) for a similar price (the 16GB of RAM model). Anything similar is either a lot more expensive or the build quality is a lot worse. I travel and move around a lot (not so much now, but I still move around my country and to the office), so portability is very important to me. Another advantage of the MacBook line is that I can carry one Anker dual USB-C charger and charge everything I have. Any recommendation is more than welcomed!
