Fixing macOS Default Settings

first off let's just jump into the sidebar this thing now you'll notice my sidebar probably looks a little bit different than the stock experience stock experience has blown up about twice as big and as you go from one icon to the next there's this magnification effect i mean if you're in second grade you probably think that's cool but for me i was like that's insane and then it's like just tons of bloat on the dock and everything here So I remove all the animation and get rid of it.

Speaking of which, when it comes to Mac's defaults, I probably could sum it up like this.

Mac, it's like someone was a crackhead that was cocktailing some LSD with an absolute love of animations.

Everything has animations in it.

Oh, my gosh.

So, like, the switching of desktops, like, you can see here, this is obviously modified, but here is the stock experience.

Actually, this is a little bit better than stock.

I'm not even going to revert all the animations so you get, like, the whoosh effect.

But you see the slide that happens from one desktop to the next? That's crazy.

Like...

What is Mac doing now? That's with reduced motion and other things.

So that's the optimal effect, the absolute less you can make it as a stock default.

Now, I'm using third party tools here.

So we just like a normal person go one, two, three, one, two, three.

You can go.

As fast or slow as you want, it's what Linux users have been doing for eons.

And as a Linux user coming to Mac, I'm like, all right, I have to fix this because this, uh-uh, I'm going to puke on my computer.

Anyways, continuing on, I'm going to try and rattle these off as quick as I possibly can.
