I would love to do this and maybe move back to MacOS but ... this seems like a lot of faffing about for something that was not designed to be done and something that is constantly at risk of being nerfed by some future update or security thing such as Apple disabling the SIP disablement ability or something along those lines.

But in Linux the choose-your-own-adventure that is the pluggable desktop model is that something like sway or i3 or other tiling window manager or a plugin for Gnome for example is much more in line with how the system was meant to be used and is very much not trying to shoehorn something in if any of that makes sense.

Of course the dev(s) that put this together and it's other projects are hackers in the truest form and their efforts are to be applauded. I'll continue to show them praise but keep using i3/sway on Linux for the time being. (funny enough tiling window managers was why I left MacOS for Linux.)
