> But it is getting there. Yes, the line I've been hearing for the past 15 years or so. Meanwhile Homebrew still works, I can still install non-App Store Apps, and Apple is publishing directions on how to install non-MacOS operating systems. Literally the single difference their "Closing the platform" has made in my life has been getting prompted for permission to open various directories and services on the platform and much of that can be disabled. > But we would be fools to ignore that the noose is tightening and, with M1 you are now stuck with macOS (unlike the older Macs). Are we on the same conversation here? Did you read the article? Or the similar ones about people loading Linux on the M1? This is literally a thread about people who followed Apple's documentation on how to install a different OS on the M1 Macs.
