CloseAll
This program lets you close all running applications with just a single click. It doesn’t use system resources because it only flashes a ‘close’ signal to all open applications on the desktop and then ceases.

There’s really nothing else that works like a true one‑button kill switch. Most people use apps moderately, sure, but for those like me with their screen(s) full of things running and then getting to the point of shut everything down is invaluable.

My 5/5 rating is strictly for the older versions from over eight years ago, not the feature‑packed releases available today. Versions 3.0 and below were simple, straightforward, and did exactly what they were meant to do, but as with many apps, the more features the developer added, the more it drifted away from its original purpose. I remember updating to a later version and feeling disappointed: multiple steps to do what used to take one, including an overhead banner pushing for a user to purchase a license, and an overall bloated feel. Too much, in my opinion.
So I’ve stuck with CloseAll v3.0 since 2017/8 and I’m still using it today.
I would love to see a linux alternative to this. It seems so simple, yet when I talk about it people look at me like i have five heads.
anyway the closest linux alternative I found is in the
Cinnamon window manager for
Linux Mint . there is an addon that lets you see a list of all open windows, and it has a button that lets you close all windows for that workspace. This is not as good as CloseAll, but it is the closest I could find, and I looked pretty hard.
