I don't want to switch spaces using my keyboard, I like the touchpad gesture. Since I need a workflow where I can't use my preferred gesture anyway I just don't use spaces and have learned to live with cmd+tab and cmd+`.
I understand. I too am annoyed by that lag, but could not live w/o Spaces. Which is a shame because in addition to being annoying, they are buggy as hell…
Honestly I feel Apple should throw away their whole window manager and restart from scratch. It’s getting worse after each major release version since ~ at least 7 years ago!
Deactivating SIP is not that dangerous if you know what you’re doing. All it does it give back write access to root to some parts of the system.
Obviously, for the commoners, it is definitely not recommended, especially since they usually run random commands from stochastic engines w/o supervision… oh…… engineers do that too now? how in the hell???
> Deactivating SIP is not that dangerous if you know what you’re doing. All it does it give back write access to root to some parts of the system.
To be fair, given the increasingly sneaky cyber attacks these days, the more layers of security between you and root access the better IMHO. Turning off SIP in today's environment is a bit nuts as it is a genuinely sensible security layer.
It’s much easier to insert persistent malware when you can modify the operating system. I remember Windows viruses that would disable windows update. Very annoying!
If you're going to insist on being one of those hardcore "I must be root" people then there's nothing I can say that will satisfy your urge. The same if you are one of those permanent Apple bashers.
However, for the benefit of more sensible people, I will point out:
1. I used the terminology "layered security" twice in my post above
2. By definition if you have a blind hatred of Apple SIP, you must also have a hatred of SELinux or AppArmor or dm-verity or kernel lockdown mode on Linux.
I'm a huge proponent of SELinux, you as the user are totally in control of it. The thing I disagree with philosophically is putting barriers between or outright locking the user out of root. Software running on the system is fine to be locked in various jails but the user shouldn't be.
