ocodoon Can't change security policy or disable SIP with macOS 15 Sequoia

To be fair, I switched away from Windows back in ~2004 and used Macos pretty much exclusively since then, with the exception of Linux, which wasn't feeling as good for desktop.

I switched again, in Dec 2023 to Linux as desktop, due to the kind of issues we're discussing ITT, and also due to Apple's "buy new, you can't repair" effective hardware policy.

I setup a couple of Windows 11 machines with WSL too, and tend to use them a lot more than I expected. There's issues, and I'm still figuring some things out wrt to doing things in Windows (not WSL) but the experience is significantly better than expected.

I'm not a fan of M$ but Apple are really taking the cake for anti-user hostility these days.
