Sketch of proof: Define the linear map $T:Bbb C^{n times n} to Bbb C^{n times n}$ by $T(X) = MX - XM$. We see that $ker(T) = {X mid MX = XM}$. By this post or this post, we see that $dim ker (T) geq n$. By the rank-nullity theorem, we have $$
dim(Bbb S) = dim(operatorname{im(T)}) = n^2 - dim ker(T) leq n^2-n
$$

as desired.
