Changing itemsep without using enumitem package

I know that you can change the itemsep of an itemize environment by loading the enumitem package. To the extend of my knowledge, this method has the disadvantage that every time I use an itemize/enumerate environment to manually adjust itemsep.

Thus, I want to ask if there is a method (preferably) or a package in which I can set itemsep=0.2cm (or its corresponding value in pt) globally (i.e. for my entire document).

Thanks in advance!

PS: A workaround is to record a macro with my settings (itemsep, label, etc..). However, I don't think that is a proper way to handle such thing

the enumitem package has declarations to set the default values as well as the optional argument that allows them to be set in each case.

@DavidCarlisle the problem is that i cannot load enumitem because it is incompatible with my document class ( i am using beamer with the metropolis theme). that's why i am asking for a non-package solution

That isn't what you say in the question, there you say you don't want to use enumitem as it means setting it on each list. Normally you can just set the lengths globally with setlength but the class may impose some defaults (and you hadn't mentioned beamer until that comment)

You can redefine @listi (I use a large 2cm to show the effect):

documentclassbeamer
makeatletter
def@listileftmarginleftmargini
 parsep 4.5p@ @plus2p@ @minusp@
 topsep 9p@ @plus3p@ @minus5p@
 itemsep 2cm @plus2p@ @minusp@ %adapt
let@listI@listi
@listi
begindocument
beginframe
beginitemize
 item b

enditemize
