Wayland has a bright future ahead: The move from Xorg to Wayland had a rough start, but things have improved, and there is an exciting roadmap for the future.

Need X-kill replacement.
Plasma and Hyprland already have one
Hm, I think that's what Ctrl + Meta + Esc* does for me on KDE? Unless there's more to x-kill than just killing windows/processes with a mouse click.
Edit: Originally said Ctrl + Esc, shame on my poor memory
TIL about Ctrl-Esc. I've been using Debian/KDE for years and only now find this out... sheesh.
Sorry, Ctrl + Win (or relevant OS button) + Esc, but yeah it's been pretty useful in a pinch
You can use Meta or Super as a more agnostic term
I thought "Meta" was AltGr and Super is the "windows key".
I never heard of AltGr reffered to as "Meta", except maybe in the sense of "Emacs modifier" which might be bound to it. Super is definitely the key between LCTL and LALT though
There is actually less to ’xkill’. It nukes the X window from orbit in a very violent manner. The owning process(-tree) will usually just instantly curl up and die.
The main benefit is that it doesn’t actually kill the process, it only nukes the window. As such, you can get rid of windows belonging to otherwise unkillable processes (zombies, etc).
Also, it’s fun. Just don’t miss the window and accidentally kill your WM. (Beat that Wayland)
