an article explaining why GNOME should support SSD, but also arguing against the reasons often given for why they shouldn't

If someone could repost this to r/GNOME I would appreciate it, since I don't have a reddit account.

I don't want a giant bar that only contains 3 icons and the name of the app. Why would you want that ?

I have SSDs off on all my machines.

    Precisely. SSD puts the decorations in the hands of your window manager, which allows you to customise what information and controls are available in the title bar (or if you even want to display one at all), so you can use the space much more efficiently. With CSD, you're down to the whims and opinions of the application, and their space-wasting choices (and whether they even choose to respect your theming).
