I have to admit, I already installed tweaks already so I'll go through the flow.
program: Gnome Tweaks (installed automatically.)
I opened a terminal window and threw the command at it;
apt search Gnome-Tweaks
and what you'll find in return...
Sorting... Done

gnome-shell-extension-caffeine/bionic,bionic 0~git20171229-2 all
GNOME Shell extension to keep your computer awake
gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayer/bionic,bionic 3.5-3 all
GNOME Shell extension to control media players
gnome-shell-extension-top-icons-plus/bionic,bionic 21-3 all
GNOME Shell extension to move system tray icons to top bar
gnome-tweaks/bionic,bionic,now 3.28.1-1 all [installed,automatic]
tool to adjust advanced configuration settings for GNOME
I highlighted gnome-tweaks green for the sake of this tutorial.
anyhow, I opened tweaks by going to "show applications" in the lower, left of the desktop. I noticed that there weren't any maximize/minimize
buttons on any of the windows from the default installation process, however, I enjoy as I like to do, extensive research in most cases and being able to min.max a window is crucial for me. But having left Microsoft's environment, I still enjoyed being able to min/max windows to go back and forth between ebooks, PDF files, research programs and LibreOffice Writer
so I go into Gnome Tweaks and navigate to the "Windows" section and at the bottom, simply toggle the switch buttons to on for a min. and max. buttons and they
should immediately appear after activation. I've included a screenshot of where to locate this feature.
Enjoy!
