Tbf, thanks to X11 Linux isn’t safe from stuff like that.
When I use my VR glasses, Steam sometimes creates an uncloseable X window that isn’t attached to any process. I don’t think even killing XWayland gets rid of it.
On Plasma Desktop, pressing Ctrl+Alt+ESC kills anything you click on next, instantly. There is truly nothing you can’t kill that way, even the desktop itself.

Don’t think I haven’t tried that.
I also tried the debug menu,
xkillusing the window ID, … it’s immortal.Have you tried silver, crosses or a stake?
Do I need to #include those first?
wow that sounds so handy, thanks
is that just shortcut to xkill? or own system?
I assume it’s a different system since it works on Wayland, but idk
I don’t know, but I think it’s works on Wayland too. Probably something built in.
I’ve run into this, seems like steam VR can’t relaunch properly unless you close till that dead window with a reboot.
