macOS unable to open any non-Apple application

I feel like even Richard Stallman would have had a hard time imagining non-free operating systems would result in this.

Use linux folks! It doesn't communicate with a third party when a process starts up!

It's just sad that we don't have the corresponding form factor in a similar laptop.

The biggest draw of mac:

1. slim, light 2. long battery life. 3. track pad.

That's all I want, but nobody else offers it on the same spec, the difference is even bigger with M1.
