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.

In my mind the switch to CSD was made concurrently with the switch to mobile style burger menus and a corresponding excision of features to fit in the smaller menu area, so most apps that do it I just instinctively dislike. It's part of what pushed me to KDE, though I still use GNOME at work
