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.

I 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

But you don’t need to disable SIP just for tiling. I find it works extremely well.

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.

Does Linux have System Integrity Protection?

I don’t mean a window manager, I mean just snapping 3 windows together is impossible on macOS. Theming doesn’t change that.
