      I like it, but it sucks RAM like the most. After a while I am with 1,8GB of consumption even if I close everything that I have open. With KDE Plasma 5 it does not exceed 500mb. If they got better memory management it would be perfect.

    I was using Ubuntu Gnome for about a week to adapt, and no, there is no way. The windows do not have a "minimize" button and a "resize" button. Only the "close" button appears. To change the window, you have to go to the upper left corner to scroll again to select the window you want to go to. Despite its limitations (customization), Unity is still excellently designed compared to Gnome.
