Hi all. I can’t move the window buttons to the left. There is a solution?

Dconf editor does not help...

    yes it is not in Gnome, I am using Budgie and the setting is in Budgie Desktop settings- Windows- Button layout

    It is possible in Gnome. Install the Extension "Dash to Panel" and then choose for "Left".

    I like that extension better than Dash to Dock

    It's just what you prefer.

    youswer Using GNOME Tweaks? Seems to move them in some windows but not others.

      Justin I am having problems on my laptop with maximize and minimize ticked off....they are still present. On my desktop however is fine. Didn't change anything (Solus stock gnome).

      The following commands in Terminal will fix your problem. It's because Solus does some overriding by default, so Tweaks won't always move all your buttons if it's an overrided app type. If you prefer GUI, follow the address chains below via dconf Editor.

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

      gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu': <0>, 'Gtk/DecorationLayout': <'menu:maximize,minimize,close'>}"

      Obviously, you can customize the controls in the brackets there to whatever you want. Everything to the left of the colon is the upper left corner of windows, everything to the right of the colon is your upper right controls. Lastly, if you open GUI apps as admin for some reason, sudo those commands for consistency. Let me know if you still run into any problems controlling your window controls. So meta.
