Is there some Linux equivalent to “ctrl + alt + del?” I get that killing a process from the terminal is preferred, but one of the few things I like about windows is if the GUI freezes up, I can pretty much always kill the process by pressing ctrl+alt+del and finding it in task manager. Using Linux if I don’t already have the terminal open there are plenty of times I’m just force restarting the computer because I don’t know what else to do.
Ctrl+alt+F1/F2/F3 etc.
It lets you switch to another terminal session, where you can use something like top/htop for a commandline equivalent to task manager.

most distros have something, yeah, generally called [something] monitor
Try ctrl+shift+ESC And remember, there are customizable hotkeys, just explore the settings
I’ve heard those quick keys a thousand times but my brain has determined that it is not necessary information for me to retain.
