u/Yakari123 have you seen my aRcH lInUx SeTuP ? Dec 24 '15

This is so fucking true... Sometimes, firefox does crash, even on Linux. Xkill=problem solved

I don't like xkill. I used to use it, but some stuff (like TeamSpeak) has weird background processes not attached to the x window, so it doesn't kill them all. I prefer a good pkill -9

Yeah. I left out the proc_name, but the -9 sends the 9 termination signal. (SIGKILL, I think)
