> You CANNOT bypass gatekeeper on silicon - that is the whole point, otherwise there would be no diffference!

Yes, you can. The only difference between Intel and Apple silicon in this regard is that binaries that literally have no code signature (as opposed to a self-signed one) will not run. It's a technical cleanup measure that removes a special case (executable with no associated signature blob), not a lockdown measure. It's not intended to make a difference from the user's point of view.

So its just the format of the executable that has changed? This certainly isn't what was discussed the other day - and seemingly confirmed by a user with a transition kit... :/

I see why you mentioned ELF, now.

Ill descend from my soapbox on that matter, then. Thank you for correcting me. :D
