MacOS – Native way to speed up/remove desktop switching animations

high sierramacosmission-controlproductivity

I want a native (and therefore free) way to speed up a specific animation. My research covers these questions and links on this that have gone unsolved for High Sierra and no answers there cover this natively.

What used to work, defaults write com.apple.dock expose-animation-duration -float 0.1 does not work, and has been confirmed to not work by myself (as well as many of the above comments and posts).

People tend to get referred here, which only offers a paid program as a solution. I have searched and searched for a free solution, none found. Any hints, help, open source mission control replacements, anything? This thing is slow enough my workflow is getting hampered (I'll switch back and fourth a lot comparing data).

I'm really hopeful for some guru who can figure this out. How can we implement this for free?
