Thanks Russel!
I've gotten past the security problem!
There's options under Security & Privacy (and what can be

O-MacApp Store
O-idetinified developers
@-Anywhere.
Though this (Anywhere) lowers the security of what to download.
I've been Recommended this OS. I can use Windows 7 as native too.
Mengu, I don't know Homebrew.
