How to add minimize button in gnome | howto

Things like not having a minimize button is why 99,9% of all people hate linux.

Welcome to fedora, that is the best Linux joke I’v ever heard

So tell me now, how can I help you?

The gsettings command has the option to change the button layout and add the minimize and maximize buttons.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ":minimize,maximize,close"

Also, if you’re uncomfortable with terminal commands, you can install Gnome Tweaks, and under the Windows menu activate additional titlebar buttons.

@jakfrost

So you can’t just use [Super][h] the standard keyboard shortcut …

And use Alt & Tab to maximize it again.

If you have more than one Window from an application open, you can use the Arrow keys, while using the Alt & Tab to select the window you like to use.
