Hi Guys,
I am using my Linux laptop to minimum and maximum resizing every browsers, terminals and sublime text, I am kinda tired of switching back and forth. Is there any better tool to set them together in each side to save our time ?
I remember somewhere in google search but unable to find it today. :(

It is much better than constantly resizing the window and both have some great features. On Chrome, it's on the far left hand side of the developer tools right beside the magnifying glass and looks like a phone/tablet icon. In Firefox, it's on the far right side and says "Responsive Design Mode" when you hover over the icon (icon looks like a solid box with a dotted box inside).
I use Kubuntu Linux myself, and I installed this great package called "yakuake". It is a dropdown terminal so that I can just hit F12 and drop it down real quick when I need to do something in the terminal (or hit it again to hide it) instead of having to either alt-tab to an open terminal or keep clicking on an open terminal. If you use a Ubuntu based distribution, you shouldn't have to install any other PPAs in order to install it. You should just be able to run sudo apt-get install yakuake to install it.

Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsThank you, Marcus. I find gem yakuake terminal is great tool, interesting! Currently I use Ubuntu on laptop and already have Tab-Resize on Chrome extension to split all the browsers (2 x 2) but not sublime text editors and mostly 2-3 open terminals in shortcut key (exact like F12 or F11 buttons) to set them apart instead alt-tab. Any idea?

Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsAlright. Maybe other option is to use external monitor or just get iMac 27".
