Does Linux have a Ctrl, Atl Delete or something like it?
Just wondering if Linux has something that will force a close on somehting not responding? I would assume so but a quick rundown of what there is would help, like Ctrl, Alt Backspace and such.
In the GUI, you can run "xkill". Then click on the thing you want to force close with the left mouse button. Tu cancel, clcik on the right mouse button.
You can also run 'ps' and 'kill' it by id or 'killall' by name. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace generally kills the X server and Ctrl-Alt-Del generally reboots the system.
xkill is a program. Just type 'xkill' into a command prompt and you'll get a funky cursor, and so on, as whipermr5 says. You can add it to a menu or whatever.
