Installing a tiling WM on macOS (in this case, Yabai) requires disabling system integrity protection. I tried Yabai for a while without disabling SIP (since I can't on my work machine) and it just did not work well. Not the fault of Yabai I'm sure, but there's still a ton of tinkering and tweaking you need to do to get Yabai really working correctly.

- heywoodlh 3y agoI use Yabai on my Macs without SIP enabled. Here’s a list of the features that absolutely require SIP to be disabled: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/1863 https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/1863 But you don’t need to disable SIP just for tiling. I find it works extremely well. > there's still a ton of tinkering and tweaking you need to do to get Yabai really working correctly This is pretty much true of basically every tiling window manager on Linux, too. For me, using Nix-Darwin for MacOS and NixOS has drastically simplified my tiling window manager setup after initially doing the work to figure out my ideal config.
