Ctrl+alt+t -> xkill -> click window you want to terminate
But yes I agree that seeing a better GUI of open programs and attached processes would be good to have.
I'm sorry what? Ctrl+Alt+t is bound to opening a terminal emulator (whichever I fancy ATM) on any system I use. I know it's a Ubuntu binding but I got so used to it if I'm ever on a system that doesn't have it I just hammer it 15 times till I gather that it's not set up there so this would never work for me ๐
Yeah, i just mean open terminal then type xkill and click. I thought ctrl+alt+t was the default in ubuntu/mint
I had a problem with Unity games on Steam freezing the PC due to fractional scaling. In that case not even the terminal would show up. Also, if I switch away from a fullscreen application, I won't have it available to be terminated using xkill, right?
In case you haven't tried it, you can run Steam games in native Wayland mode, and get a more stable experience. Especially with fractional scaling. There are two steps:
env DISPLAY="" PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command%I am on Mint. For now. Anyway I am quiet quitting Steam for GOG and Heroic had no problem running Unity games with fractional scaling.
If you can't see the terminal, then that's pretty bad so idk -> if everything goes unresponsive I just slap my monitor in impotent fury and reboot
If you can see the terminal but not the window, idk if xkill would work. Then you'd need to find the process id and kill it with pkill.
Like say you're playing age of empires 2: pgrep aoe (should return all running processes called aoe with their pids > process: aoe2 pid: 69420 ...or something like that) then: pkill 69420 > ded

Yeaaa..nope.
We definitely need a better UI with highest prio for this.
