Just open up a terminal and type kill $PID (Replace the $PID with the process id of the process) if you don’t know the process id you can do killall process_name If these don’t work you can add a -9 to banish them and give them no chance to resist

minus-squareI_like_cats@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up10·9 months agoYou can do ps aux | grep -i <part of process name> and the PID is in the second column of the output. However for this use case I recommend a process manager like htop or btop
