If Linux is installed in a virtual environment on my mac can I open apps that big sur blocks? I'm trying open this application: http://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~lucag/ (It's a research tool might might be great for my work so I really want to access it).
When I try and open the app I get the message: &quot;You do not have permission to open the application &quot;ECGWorkbench'. Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance.&quot;
If I installed Linux in a virtual environment on my mac could I then open the the Linux version of the app?
Yes, if you have Linux installed in a virtualised environment that you control on your Mac - then you could install applications in there. Restrictions on running applications within macOS using Apple's MDM system would not apply to applications within the virtualised Linux system.
Note that this all presumes that you have already got Linux up and running in a virtualised environment. If the owner of your laptop denies running most programs, they most probably also deny the installation of virtualisation software.
