Here's something that may interest Mac users:
macOS Security Will Never Stop Us From Running Software of Our Choice - The Mac Observer
There is an emerging notion that as macOS security gets better, it will make the use of a Mac more burdensome. This is false.www.macobserver.com
Interesting indeed, but my experience with the recent OSes I've used or tested (until 10.13) is that any time I install a new OS there are more and more things I've got to disable to make it simply usable — and it needs a lot of investigation for discovering what are the processes that cripple my machine, whether I'd need them or not, etc. (not to talk about bugs that will stay forever, namely 10.11.6 Safari and Mail crashing with no apparent reason (even just oversized images or badly built websites! :-o ), kexts versions not appearing in column view, etc. — I've briefly tried 10.13.6 just to find other bugs while some old ones were cured...)
So, if I can agree with the idea of full security for basic users and more freedom for power users, I dream of a Terminal command like sudo setpoweruser than would allow us to customize MacOS in a wink. ;-)
