GNU screen [quick_reference]

Save pixels in your Gnome Shell. I love Gnome Shell, but was bothered by the amount of pixel wasted in its interface.

Save pixels in your Gnome Shell

The title bar of window is quite large, and the activity bar is always present. A maximized window still is unable to use a significant amount of pixels in the top of the screen. This is a major pain on small screen, but even on bigger screen, MOAR pixels for my app is better. After all, the role of my desktop is to allow me to manage my apps in a convenient way. It has to be as discrete as possible.

Yaourt

Yaourt (Yet AnOther User Repository Tool; French for 'Yogurt') is a community-contributed wrapper for pacman which adds seamless access to the AUR, allowing and automating package compilation and installation from your choice of the thousands of PKGBUILDs in the AUR, in addition to the many thousands of available Arch Linux binary packages. Yaourt uses the same exact syntax as pacman, which saves you from relearning an entirely new method of system maintenance but also adds new options. Yaourt expands the power and simplicity of pacman by adding even more useful features and provides pleasing, colorized output, interactive search mode, and much more.

Installation First you need to install package-query as a dependency, and then the yaourt package itself. #15486 (pidgin/purple fails with "The certificate chain presented is invalid.")
