1- consider switching to Linux.

2- Disable System Integrity Protection.

$ csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: disabled.

But this will probably not work anymore in future versions of macOS…  therefore 
consider switching to Linux.  Or FreeBSD or OpenBSD if you really want.

Note: you will need to reboot in Recovery Mode to do that.
