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 think client side decorations are the worst thing that happened to Linux after GNOME 3.

It's just a lame attempt at copying macOS, with the huge difference that macOS has a fixed, predictable menu bar at the top of the screen, while GNOME does not.

I want a coherent system, where every window has the same title bar, which I can customise completely. Client side decorations are the opposite of that.

    Funny enough, I think CSDs suck on MacOS too.
    Finder for example not only looked better when it had a separate titlebar on Catalina, it also worked better because it didn't need to either hide buttons or the window title as the window shrunk.
