    Quite often double click on the close button will kill a hung app on Windows. Not Al the time, maybe 70%.

      I feel like it’s easy enough to kill on windoes as well. Windows is down to about once every two years where it completely hangs.

        I haven’t had a issue with Windows in at least 8 years. Admittedly I primarily use Linux but still. It isn’t the unstable mess people here thing it is. It isn’t private in the least but that’s a different story.

    Tbf, thanks to X11 Linux isn’t safe from stuff like that.

    When I use my VR glasses, Steam sometimes creates an uncloseable X window that isn’t attached to any process. I don’t think even killing XWayland gets rid of it.

      There’s an old addage when working with any Microsoft product:

      “Wait longer”

      In other words, your first click was probably doing its thing. You just needed to wait a little longer to see it work.
