Why wouldn't apple allow to remove all animations when switching desktops, without disabling SIP?

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/434555/can-you-com...

Native keyboard shortcuts are there for all to use to switch desktops, but the fading in/out animations that last around 1s completely prevent fast desktop switches as is so useful in i3/sway.

You might want to check out AeroSpace :) https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

AeroSpace reimplements workspaces by emulating them. https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace/blob/main/docs/guid...

The result is that workspace switching is instant, and disabling SIP is not required

This is awesome.

When I looked this up on an apple support forum, the replies were all basically: "Why would you want to disable this feature? Apple designers know better than you, go back to Windows"

They're not wrong. When you buy an Apple product and try to customize it you're not doing what it's made for. It's like trying to use a golf club to hit a baseball.

this is one of my biggest annoyances about macOS. I actually want to keep the vast majority of animations, the only one I want gone is the desktop transition, because it feels so jarring.

Either make the transition instant, or bring back the old behavior where the dock and desktop remain static during the slide animation.
