Actually, no you cannot. You need to adjust and grant permissions for anything you install on a Mac OS system today.

Source: I own a Mac, it's less than six months old. Installing stuff is full of permission requests.

As for Linux, I've used and installed it for over 25 years. It's not ready for 3 billion home users and at the rate it's going, it won't ever get there.

Yes, I know, Android is Linux, well done, here's an elephant stamp.

    I've also been using Linux for a similar amount of time, and it's only at work now I have to use Windows.

    And as for home users using Linux? I have a few family members quite happy with Ubuntu / Firefox since all they need is a browser and VLC for their "PC", so I don't know where you got that "it'll never get there" metric from.

    Alright they don't have a clue how Jellyfin works on that box, but they sure do appreciate and use it a lot these days now they've got used to it / dumping Netflix.
