make installcan do literally anything to your computer besides installing a video card driver (as per the old xkcd comic) and sure there is firejail.. but let’s be honest, how often do you use it? Defaults matter, and thus linux is insecure.Also, again, how is osx locked down? What’s a concrete thing you can’t do on it?
