Upgrade from compression tools to backup tools. Look into using restic (a tool with dedup, compression and checksumming) on a filesystem which also checksums and compresses (btrfs/zfs) - that’s probably most reasonable protection and space saving available. Between restic’s checks and the filesystem you will know when a bit flips and that’s when you replace the hardware (restoring from one of your other backups).

If you mean with a gui then this is one tool:

https://apps.gnome.org/en-GB/DconfEditor/

Try this:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter check-alive-timeout 10000

Value is in ms so 10000=10s. You can also set it to 0 to disable.

To be clear you can absolutely type in exact measurements in the ‘tool controls bar’ for all the shape tools and even individual nodes. Scale and units are easy to switch between and there’s a measurement tool also.
