How do I speed up the animation time for switching between desktop spaces?

Question

Is there a way to speed up the animation time for switching between spaces? (Or maybe turning them off?). Preferably without buying a third party app. Maybe there's an option defaults.

I'm on Sierra 10.12.6.

Thanks

This looks like a duplicate of Speed up Mission Control animations in macOS Sierra

Here's the short answer. If you want extremely fast animations, this is your defaults write command:

defaults write com.apple.dock expose-animation-duration -float 0.1

This does nothing. – Roger Collins May 19 '18 at 21:47
This only works if you have a single screen, not multiple monitors. – Luke Davis Sep 05 '18 at 21:05
Thanks! This does work for my plugged monitor (macOS Catalina 10.15.7) – MrYoshiji Mar 31 '21 at 15:48
This made the switch faster on Monteray 12.6, but still slower than what I'm used to in Ubuntu :( – AlikElzin-kilaka Oct 25 '22 at 09:30
As of Ventura this does’t seem to do anything – Ryan Mar 09 '23 at 03:09
