Yeah KDE mimics Windows, Cinnamon mimics MacOS, and GNOME mimics Android. That's sort of the intention, so you can keep your workflow.

Cinnamon definitely mimics classic Windows... That's essentially its entire point.

GNOME is the mishmash of macos and, like you said, mobile design.

Hmm I swear I saw the exact same MacOS minimize/maximize/close buttons and on the left in Cinnamon at one point, but now that I'm looking up the latest screenshots it seems to be the usual. Maybe it was some specific distro only?

		Ubuntu had the window controls on the left side from like 2010-2017 to go along with their Unity desktop. From what I recall, this has always been an option with Cinnamon but they default it to the right side.

And Windows mimics KDE. It's a loop.
