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.

GNOME looks like if Fisher-Price made a My First Linux Desktop baby toy, it just bothers me for some reason.

    I'm using it since it came and actually got used to it directly, the search engine was efficient enough so I could skip the use of a mouse to open the few GUI I need

    I could probably use something lighter but doesn't feel the need of, I have already so many unfinished projects that spending time on setting up something when this works without change seems useless.

    Oh absolutely no judgement on the people that use it, it’s just that’s the design language it reminds me of. I typically use KDE on bare metal Linux installs and xfce on my VMs, but like 99% of my Linux usage is in a full screen terminal running tmux so at the end of the day the desktop environment I’m running doesn’t matter at all.

    And yeah I completely get the aversion to changing a set up that works.

    Yeah bro, the reason Gnome is aesthetically displeasing to me is definitely because I lack empathy lol.

    lol ok, wow that’s a lot. You do realize that opinions are subjective right? Nowhere did I call gnome bad, I just said what its design language reminded me of and that I personally don’t like it. I’m happy that people like it. Im happy it exits and I’m happy that people have choices. I just don’t vibe with it at all. That’s fine, I don’t have to like the things you like. You don’t have to like the things I like. I’d bet money if I was slagging Windows 8 Metro you’d be totally fine with it though.

    I’m not really sure where the aggressiveness I’m feeling in your response is coming from, but I kind of doubt it’s driven solely by my opinions about a DE.
