You dont have to restart your Computer, you can also just kill a task.

To make it simple use something like mission center

    Steam does something weird when running a Windows game via Proton. I haven't figured out which task to kill to kill a game it's running.

    Do you get a window? If so, you can xkill (or the Wayland equivalent, if you compositor provides one).

    Failing that, yeah, it can be quite difficult to identify the right proc to kill. Sometimes showing the process "tree" and the full "command line" can help.

    Beat of luck!

    I run games in full screen mode, so maybe it would work. Seems like Wayland has Ctrl+Meta+Esc as the equivalent of xkill. I'll try this if it happens again.
