I'm having trouble closing a window in Bazzite on KDE that has crashed. I've already tried the terminate popup, using the system monitor, and via terminal commands like `kill `, but nothing seems to work. It's frustrating because this is exactly why I switched from Windows—just want the window to close when I tell it to! By the way, I discovered that using Meta (Windows) + Ctrl + Esc actually worked to close the window. However, now Dolphin won't open, and it looks like I might need to reboot anyway. Also, Bazzite seems to not boot properly after all this. Any help?

Just a tip for next time: always mention your operating system, any hardware details, and error messages when asking for tech help. It makes it easier for others to assist you!
Have you tried using `kill -9` along with the process ID? That should force it to close, no matter what!
Or you can use `kill -SIGKILL`, which does the same thing but you won't have to remember the number 9. Another option is `pkill -SIGKILL` if you want to shut down the app based on its name instead of the ID.
