MacOS has been moving to a more locked down model over the years - increasingly difficult to install unsigned applications, SIP, etc.

I think Windows is incredibly impressive for its ability to run binaries from many years ago, but I don't think there's much people would point to as a positive regarding Windows’ approach to app security.

Yet life in Windows land is perfectly fine in 2026 and has been for at least 2 decades.

If Windows, which started at the bottom of the barrel security wise can make it, surely we can have more modern OSes that make freedom bearable?
