For this kind of situations xkill is marvelous.

I've used Windows xKill [1] for years, but I can't find a download link for which you don't have to sign in...

Alternatively, SuperF4 [2] looks decent, also with a separate CLI only xkill found in the github issues [3].

Sysinternals’ process explorer gives you a crosshairs to select a window’s process — that crossbones pointer has more style though.


Many tiling wm offer something like that out of the box (and KDE among the mainstream desktop managers)


Worst case, on most Linux setups just C-A-Fnum to a TTY, log back in, and `kill -9` the offending PID from the command line.
