I switched from macos to Linux because it can't stop babying users and being unnecessarily restrictive

I tried running a 2nd instance of Roblox simultaneously on macos 15 with another account but this shows up, if my mac can handle it then why can't it just let me do it? If I have two copies of an app like Roblox in separate User/Applications folders, macos moves them to the /Applications/ folder.

Sometimes it won't run apps claiming to be corrupted, so I then have to do sudo xattr -cr /Applications/someapp.app in the terminal and they run perfectly fine. It always nags me if I download apps from anywhere but mac app store. Some of these messages can only be gotten rid of by disabling system integrity protection, but then macos blocks you from running MAS apps due to having "permissive security".

I don't daily drive macOS anymore, I switched to Linux on my M1 mac where I can do whatever the hell I want.

That's not true (unless I misunderstand what you mean). I always have SIP disabled and I can run MAS apps.

Other than that, I agree that some of Apple's pseudo-security drivel can be infuriating.

If all you need for your computing needs is available on Linux then sure why not.

You could have force quitted the application.

You are confusing SIP with Gatekeeper. You don’t have to disable SIP to run apps from unidentified developers or unsigned apps.

See Safely open apps on your Mac https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445

If you disable SIP, you can’t run iOS apps, but you can run macOS apps from the App Store.
