Sure it is not natural for everybody but at-least give us an option and let the user choose what is best for him :).

I suppose some might prefer the buttons on the bottom or on the sides as well. At least if they were at the bottom one wouldn't have to move up the screen so far. 😎

Not sure what you wrote is true.

For windows if you want you can move it to the left side as for most Linux distros, by third party apps but possible.

I'm glad you changed what you originally wrote…

Everything you wrote here is false.

Interesting you don't think you're paying for the OS <- not directly for certain - but Apple hardware is "reassuringly expensive" - I wonder could the extra cost per performance unit be due to a proprietary locked in OS? One might expect that this kind of UX/CX option would be basic nowadays (not all "creatives" left handed) - perhaps they can't afford the overhead cost as they "give away" the OS?

Back in the days of OS X like 20.4 Tiger and you purchased the newer version like OS X 10.5 on DVDs the buttons to minimize were still on upper Left.

So the assertion of Costs does not really hold any water IMHO

Linux distributions (more specifically the various GUI incarnations within those distributions) have some defaults as to frames and button placement, but there is a monstrous amount of flexibility to make the system look more like Windows, Mac, or whatever. So, buttons up/down/left/right - it is all customer choice.

Maybe there's a third-party application that replaces the windowing system entirely? (as in : does not hack into the native one, just adds an extra windowing system on top, as a separate application).

Any lead is appreciated.

Self correction and should read " Back in the days of OS X like 10.4 Tiger ... "
