I am an old and ornery guy that has had the window controls on the right of window since the Windows 3.1 days. Along comes this new fandangled Unity thing and it moves the buttons to the left. I would love to give this Unity a chance, but my mind just will not let me look for the window controls on the left. Seriously, has this bug been/or will ever be addressed or is my choice to go with another DE?

@MohamedSlama it probably did change, but the setting might still be there. Check in other menus. – TheWanderer Jun 01 '16 at 01:22

2Hmm. It seems as though 16.04 has blocked the feature again: http://askubuntu.com/questions/764166/how-to-move-window-buttons-to-right-in-ubuntu-16-04 – TheWanderer Jun 01 '16 at 01:28

You can try alternative desktop environments like GNOME or Xfce. – Jun 01 '16 at 07:24

Install unity tweak tool:
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool
open the unity tweak tool from the dash. Then, from the appearance > window controls, set the controls to be aligned to the right.

1If there's a duplicate that's been suggested, it's usually not best to essentially copy the answer from it. – TheWanderer Jun 01 '16 at 01:22
