How to set up a new Mac mini with Tahoe 26.1 for the best possible privacy.

What settings should I turn off, what do you recommend for the vest privacy on a mac M4 ?

Currently using Linux, just need a dedicated editing and music making machine.

I heard there is an option of using brew... What are your thoughts? I'm new to all things Mac.

Brew applications are also unsandboxed unless the app developer chose to opt-into sandboxing.

Personally, I while I love sandboxing, I chose to use brew and other third-party installation methods because I didn't want to use the App Store (and actually couldn't unless I signed in using an Apple account, which I didn't want to do).
