Install an Automatic Tiling Window Manager

To organize your desktop in a way that matches Linux or Windows, you’ll need a proper window manager, such as yabai. In short, yabai manages the windows that you have on your system automatically so that everything is organized perfectly.

Unfortunately, to allow yabai to work, you have to disable two features of macOS System Integrity Protection (SIP). Doing so is quite minor from a security standpoint, and you’re only disabling them on your second (work) macOS installation, so it won’t affect your personal installation of macOS.

Once these two features are disabled, you’ll also notice a dramatic speed improvement when using macOS (for this reason alone, many macOS power users choose to disable it).

Follow these steps to disable these two features of SIP:
Power down your computer and then boot it while holding down the Command (⌘) + R key combination to enter recovery mode.
Log into your second installation of macOS when prompted.
Select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Next, type the following command (ignore any warnings) and reboot normally afterwards:

csrutil enable --without debug --without fs

Following this, you can install yabai using brew, and then start and allow yabai to run on your system. The detailed steps to perform these tasks are listed
