Description from the creator

Hey, in this video i show you two different way to kill processes in linux, the first is with the xkill command, and the last one is with the ps and kill command. Feel free to ask in the comments if there is something you don't understand. =)

Commands used:

$ xkill
$ ps -ef | grep "firefox"
$ kill (process id/PID)

The first method is, as i said, not very powerful because you can only kill what you see on the screen. Per example, when you try to open firefox sometimes, it will maybe show you something like "firefox is not responding", then you can't kill it with the first method since it is running in the background.
