    I remember this distro doesn't have a minimize button. How do I add one?

    Dear jacatone,

    they want to make it as easy as possible: Minimize your window with a click on the (big) icon in your Dock, at the bottom :)

    The button you can enable easily with elementary-tweaks, just follow this instruction: https://elementaryforums.com/index.php?threads/howto-install-elementary-tweaks.282/

    You will get the minimize button like this:

    Another idea would be use hot corners, setup window minimize there:

    hot_corners_minimize_elementary.png
    Settings > Desktop > Hot Corners

    enjoy :)
