Locked into Mac App Store?

[Lowhangers]

Has Apple said anything about whether we can download software from outside the Mac App Store on AS Macs?

I like to torrent sometimes (legal files only obviously 😂) and it’s not possible in iPadOS or iOS.

Thanks if anybody has heard anything. 👍🏻

No locks at all. It is exactly same for intel and Apple Silicon

Sounds like it behaves exactly like the Intel macs, which is good news.

There will be no difference. Macs with apple silicon run the same operating system, with the same restrictions (or lack thereof) as any other Mac.
