Yep. Many only need SIP to be disabled long enough to install into
protected locations, but run fine if SIP is re-enabled afterwards. The
tuntap macOS package <http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net> is the most recent
one I've used that fits the description. It runs fine with SIP enabled, but
installation requires you to first disable SIP.

Got it.  Makes sense as long as one is confident in what one is 
installing with SIP off.  tuntap fits that, at least.

Not even sure if I have tuntap installed at present.  I seem to recall 
needing it for a VPN at some point.  Latest version of that client seems 
to be more self contained.

I'm using it to run a network interface for Basilisk II that can be
reached from the internet (the built-in slirp interface can't reach the
net) so I can run an image of Zippy in emulation on a Mac mini Server:

<http://zippy.kicks-ass.org:9997> 

Zippy's currently taking a much-needed rest in a padded box after I
replaced his cooling fan. : )

OK, that doesn't seem like a bad idea. I'll look into it a little more.

This case goes beyond the "Mac vs. PC" conversation that's been in this 
thread thus far.  Since your son's nervous system can't deal with the 
animations and you can't customize the interface to turn them off, then 
don't use a Mac.  

He's seriously restricted by his neurology, then he shouldn't be using a 
system that interferes with it.  The Mac or even a Window box isn't 
trying to be all things to all people.  If you can't make it work for 
you and customize it, then don't use it.

Run Ubuntu.  Seriously.  (or whatever Linux flavor works for him on a 
laptop that will run it).  And yes, he gives up all the Mac-centric 
stuff.  But if it's making him sick and he can't deal with it, then 
don't use a computer that makes you sick.

No it's not. I use it every day on my laptop. It does a very fast fade
to the new screen. No animation at all.

No. It may be faster, and it certainly feels faster, but it is not
slower.

It's animated on my Lion. It's animated on his El Capitan. Ergo, I 
suspect you've altered yours.

Of course it is! When you've done whatever you've done to get the 
Mission Control screen, you should've gotten the next workspace instead.

For some reason, on mine I _have to_ use MC to get to Desktop 2. 
Ctrl-right doesn't work; but Ctrl-left does. <shrug> Ctrl-1 and Ctrl-2 
give error sounds. Ctrl-2 changes the selected file in Finder. :P

My Lubuntu netbook works EXACTLY like he wants.

I did. That's how I knew what keys to use, the Ctrl-<arrow> keys. Now 
the wild thing is that I DL'd TinkerTool, told it to eliminate the 
animation and chose No Delay. Logged out and back in and *now Ctrl-left 
and Ctrl-right both work!* But the Spaces still slide. :(

And for some reason, I can't 3- or 4-finger swipe to other Spaces like 
other people say they can. I don't know how they get that because it's 
not in the Trackpad Prefs.

How old is your machine? Really really old? Old trackpads didn't support
multi-touch. But that would be like 2006 or older?

Mid 2007 Mini running Lion. But my Trackpad is only a couple years old 
and does Multi-Touch.

a 2007 mini is really old, so old that it cannot go beyond lion.

That is correct, sir. The early 2009 will run Sierra but I don't expect 
it to make the cut next time.

I am talking about the screen switching when the animation setting in
Accessibility is disabled which is how my Laptop is configured.

Are you intentionally misunderstanding? The speed *of the transition*.

OK, I don't have that setting (or Accessibility, for that matter. For me 
it's Universal Access).

> Are you intentionally misunderstanding? The speed *of the transition*.

No, unintentionally; because the speed of the transition is as 
irrelevant as its colour.

Not when motion sickness is an issue, the speed of the transition is
extremely important. But regardless, the transition *feels* faster and
there's no animation, so I suspect no motion sickness either.

In earlier versions of the OS, there were defaults that could be changed
via the command line.

defaults write com.apple.dock expose-animation-duration -float 0.15

Also, using ^1 to go to space one is about twice as fast as using
control-left to go left one space.

If the computer in question doesn't understand the defaults command and
doesn't have a reduce motion setting in Accessibility, then upgrade it
to Sierra.

Well, the sufferer didn't complain about the *speed* of the slide; he 
complained about its *existence*.

Yes. Odd and interesting that.

They all understand the defaults command. He probably has Reduce Motion 
in Accessibility but it may not do the slide.

Yes, but the faster the slide the less noticeable it is.

No, they do not all understand the defaults command. In some versions of
OS X, including Lion I believe, the defaults command to disable the
animation does not do anything at all.

But in Sierra, the setting to reduce motion removes the animation.

'Understanding' the defaults command and the availability of options to 
it are different matters. Though not mentioned above, the availability 
_is_ actually the crucial concern for the issue at hand.

Thank you for that confirmation; I'll pass it along to him.
