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.

Wow, those buttons in the upper left look bad 😂 Luckily you can hide them
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout :
Sorry for hijacking
you mean that they're on the left or what...? like 'em just fine there, I'm a macOS convert.
You can't even read the title of the window properly, and it's a short one! And there's this ugly scramble of icons all clustered on the left. This may work and you may be used to it but Gnome is certainly not designed to be used like that.
Hiding all the buttons as the poster above told you to do is worse though.
yeah, the over-crowdedness is only in the settings app, "normal" apps look fine
