MacOS is Losing a Big Feature

Apple is making their MacBooks more like big iPads (aka, iPad Jumbos). As they tighten their control over what you’re ‘allowed’ to install on them.

You shouldn't be too worried. I absolutely love my Mac Mini (M1 with 16 GB RAM) and will keep using macOS 14 until it goes EOL. After that, I'll upgrade the OS and use the Terminal workaround. And if Apple removes the Terminal workaround, then Linux exists (M2 series and earlier, but will support M4 in the future) and provides tools for most of my work (I already have a dual boot). And if you'd rather not use workarounds, there are plenty of amazing mini PCs on the market that run Windows and Linux quite well. Hopefully, Apple will realize that removing sideloading from a desktop operating system is a bad idea.

@@Kamawan0 On Linux you indeed do not, but on Windows it's called SmartScreen. The only difference between the two is that Apple just removed the button that allows you to skip the prompt so you have to find it in settings, the purpose of which is to make you think twice before you go through with it. Further, Apple's app notarization is built into XCode, which means you need to make an XCode project, which is rather painful. Just to be clear, I don't agree with this practice, because it means you're sending the hash of the executable you want to run to Apple or Microsoft, revealing to them what apps you run, and the security guarantee is questionable at best.

OpenSCAD seems to be a unique issue, given Apple's newest OS commonly breaks most applications (it's been this way for years). What DID happen, which is worse, is Apple killing the ability for you to install stuff via homebrew by Terminal. THAT is the type of sideloading Apple killed. Most of the installing of developer libraries is almost exlusively done through homebrew: like SDL, OpenGL, or VulkanSDK, for example. They don't offer standard Mac installing, you almost only install via homebrew. That is an even bigger nightmare that developers will have to deal with.

I mean its so unrefined nevertheless, MacOS is missing a lot of convinience features that are just standard on Windows and Linux, espescially if you have more then one screen. Yesterday needed ot open my MacBook after a while and was so frustrated from simply connecting an additional screen and moving windows around and changing their size and so on, sooo complicated in MacOS. I work on Kubuntu most of the time, no regrets, best UI/UX to my knowledge and it just works.

Apple have a security issue right now - disproportionate levels of malware to userbase as of late. If they don't do something to reduce that they'll ruin their reputation. The vast majority of Apple users are computer illiterate people who need protecting - this is a good move. Perhaps a little aggressive - these people in windows usually freak out at the 'unsigned' error or UAC prompt on windows, and don't install the stuff. Probably a better way to do it.
