I think the current boot feature will disallow arbitrary EFI booting. And most mobile device manufacturers do not allow bootloader unlocking for consumers. That being said, there is no guarantee that a determined child will be prevented from apt install git build-essentials and cloning Chromium source code and compile a modified version of Chromium; or from using ncurses and libcurl to hand-make their own tiny browser; or from receiving a premade browser using nc -l 8080 > www.AppImage. As long as the exposed functionalities are Turing-complete and any tiny networking is possible, a determine child will eventually make it happen.


No, Bernard. That question was purely rhetorical.


Let me know if my little project helps for the situation

XKCD 1172 is both fun and realistic


Much as I respect and appreciate these efforts in maintaining compatible alternatives to canonical Mac OS X and Mac OS XI, in modern days I would prefer to run Mac OS X/XI applications in my GNU/Linux system over some compatibility layer (FoundationLibc, CorePulse, PicQuartz, Melkan, etc), because, in the years after leaving Mac OS X, I have establish new workflows which are mainly GNU-based.

I still want GarageBand and perhaps Processing / Glyph, but I prefer embedding those Mac OS X/XI apps in my GNU workflows. Rebooting to another OS wastes time and virtualization has performance penalty; neither is fun.
