Thanks!

I run Ubuntu on my personal machine and haven't found a suitable alternative yet. The more time I spend on my Mac work machine the more I'm thinking about switching my personal one due to this

I went from using i3 on my personal Linux machine, to my macOS machine for work. I've had the same thoughts about switching back, but it wasn't an option. Amethyst pulled me through the worst. It can't compare to i3.

There's also this: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai, but I haven't tried it out because of the disclaimer: "You acknowledge that you understand the potential risk that may come from disabling arrow_upper_right System Integrity Protection on your system"

The caveats section notes that

> If you are running on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, you can reenable SIP after the scripting addition has been installed.

I'm not sure if that applies to only that version and no later versions.

Amethyst is a poor man's reimplementation of xmonad. Just use it on your Ubuntu machine.
