A curated directory of 700 Mac menu bar apps
Not sure why the downvotes, same here. I disabled mine in favour of sketchy bar [0]. I hide most things except for bandwidth and clock. Super handy.

Completely remove menu bar
Like the title says, I'm trying to remove the menu bar completely. Not only 'hide it' through system settings, but to make sure it never pops up ever again. I'm working with sketchybar to create my own one and I never want to see it pop up again.

First few hours with my first macOs; things that i'm missing (coming form ubuntu/windows)
Coming from linux, I have the set up of ubersicht/simple-bar + yabai + skhd + alfred that I've found to be very extensible and customizable! Very rice-y :)

My really customized desktop - dynamic wallpaper, custom widgets, custom folders, diagnostics. Thoughts? All suggestions are appreciated.
Yabai is a tiling window manager (you may like it or you may hate it). It automatically aligns Windows so they’re visible. E.g. if you have one window open it takes up the entire screen, if you open a second one it takes up 50% and the other is also scaled to take up 50%. (Not actually 50%, because by default it leaves some gaps). It also has space management (workspaces) which make them much more useful as they’re usually quite tedious to work with at least for me. It’s very customisable and you can integrate it with Übersicht, (check out Simple-bar) and for example display the title of the window in the bar (In Firefox/Chrome it displays the title of the tab).
