This is the reason I needed to switch to a Linux laptop. I cannot be beholden to Apple’s - or anyone’s - servers when it comes to running applications on my own machine.

Any recommendations? I’ve heard good things about System76.

Linux performs similar checks.

This is _FUD_. it emphatically does not perform similar checks by phoning home to a third party. The closes you will find are SELinux/AppArmor policies, which do not involve the network at all.
