From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

One I just discovered recently - in KDE, holding the Super Key & right mouse button lets you resize a window from anywhere so you don't have to hunt around for the one corner pixel to resize it.
No idea if it works in Gnome or other DE's, but might be worth a try!
On gnome super+left click allows you to move windows, by default.
You can also enable super+right click to resize with gnome tweaks. In my opinion this should be the default.
By default it's super + middle click
Same with super + left click to move windows. Especially handy for windows that are off the screen for some reason
