I just switched from Linux to Mac for my company notebook.

No offense, but for me it is like the Mac is taking my hand and guiding me threw a mess. However sometimes I know the way better than the Mac but it is not letting me. It actually makes it really hard to „go my way“.

For example the “only trusted developer program“ can be run . I understand why it makes sense for most people but I want an option to decide it mysel who is to be trusted. To be fair I had to google a bit for a terminal command to fix this but either way it leaves a bitter taste. I fear that I may lose this “fix“

Now back to the battery health. Why not allow being transparent? If most of users want the 100% showing then make it default.

I think that’s what boils it down for me. Having no choice with OS X. Now I know some will say that’s how it is for Mac but do you think it is too much to ask for this (really stable) system to support choices?

I can not align with this.

"Gatekeeper", the ‘only trusted developers’ setting is a setting in System Preferences. Windows also ships with an equivalent setting in the default.
