What app do you use to disable mouse acceleration on MacOS? How is your experience?
DiscreteScroll - Very basic, just removes the acceleration, doesn’t smooth scrolling. No GUI, click and run and forget about it. add it to “Open at login” to never worry about enabling it.
- As lifelong Windows user I switched to MacOS, here are my toughts.

Going From Windows/Linux to MacOS: My Experience + My Essential Tweaks
Discrete-Scroll solved this issue for me. I did have to download XCode and build the project to make it native M1. But I had never used XCode before and it was still pretty easy, I just bumbled around until I found the "Build" button and then the button that let me install the app I just made. It works perfectly and fixes what is admittedly a minor issue.

Need some help with getting a Razer mouse to work in Parallels.
DiscreteScroll This is the most bare-bones and just fixes the annoying acceleration-based scrolling-model in macOS and replaces it with a more windows-like velocity-based scrolling-model. Both MOS and Mac Mouse Fix also do this. This one is just super minimal and unobtrusive. You do need to run it every time you login, but its super minimal and lightweight. There’s no GUI, so you open it and it just does its thing in the background. You close it in Activity Monitor. I use this still because Mos and Mac Mouse Fix dont fix gaming in macOS. Minecraft doesn’t move selected spaces in the hot bar with each scroll-click with either. DiscreteScroll fixes this.

macOS Setup after 15 Years of Linux
I wasn't satisfied with the Automator way to make a new-terminal shortcut, it was kinda slow, and not 100% reliable. I found FastScripts and was able to make it fast and reliable. (I still use version 2.8, version 3 was just released, haven't tried it.) https://redsweater.com/fastscripts/
For the mouse wheel, there's a nice minimal proper fix: https://github.com/emreyolcu/discrete-scroll

New to Mac: mouse acceleration is driving me crazy
DiscreteScroll should fix this, I use it with my Razer Basilisk X for my Mac

Mouse Acceleration Fix
I use DiscreteScroll to fix that behavior if that’s what you’re talking about
There are multiple apps to address this, I use an app called DiscreteScroll to fix this behavior when I use a traditional mouse.

Ask HN: Best Hacks for a Ultrawide Monitor?
I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) along with skhd (https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience.
Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve.

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
Here it is. There is no visualization of the stack, which apparently Stackline in the other comment supports, but I don't tend to need that. Just being able to move between the windows is good enough for me.
https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/203#issuecomment...
I have been using Yabai for two years now and am very happy. For me, it's stable and you can script almost anything by using event reactors.
Yabai also makes working with a 15" display much more productive imho. For example, I can effortlessly and nearly instantaneously switch between browser and coding spaces by pressing hyper + w / hyper + x (I'm using Karabiner Elements to map capslock to hyper).
Since it's a common misconception, you do NOT need to disable SIP if you don't care about some features (noticeably, disabling those nasty space switch animations). For an overview of features that require SIP to be partially disabled:
https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/1863
Also in general, the wiki on GitHub is very well-written.
You do lose some features[0] but I've found the only ones I really care about is focusing spaces, and you can create keyboard shortcuts for that in System Settings.

Asahi Linux folks are doing us a solid with WPA3 fixes
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.
> 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.

macOS Containers v0.0.1
SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system.

For instance requires SIP to be disabled.

Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
I feel the same way. I would much prefer no animation at all, and an instant transition to another space.
Apparently this is possible with [yabai](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai), but it requires disabling system integrity protection which I am personally uncomfortable with.
This is disproven by the fact that Yabai [1] can instantly swap spaces with SIP disabled.
