From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.

Most of the time, we're not so starved for pixels that we have tp be stealing from the title bar.

Plus, when we actually are starved for space SSD allow the system to make the necessary adjustments.

One thing that dawned on me... maybe CSD and some of the "new" window management paradigms (tiling, card style, etc.) are symbiotic. If you aren't using the title bar for manipulating the window on a regular basis, you feel free to ignore or outright scramble it.
