What is the ctrl alt del of linux? That is, a HIGH PRIORITY command that will launch a task manager and let me kill processes even when the system is almost freezing.
Right now I can launch the system monitor, but it has shit priority so it take ages when the system is freezing
REISUB
htop
>Ctrl+alt+F2
>killall $process_name
It is called the process list in linux
I forgot what command you use to list it
It will display the list of running processes and each one will have a PID (process ID)
You kill the process by its ID number, so one you know it, you can just be like
Kill 234
if it's OOM you're fucked
else, pkill skype
It says login: what do I type?
install gentoo
alt f2
xkill
It's a different session, so it'll need the name of the user you want to log in as, followed by the user's password. By the way, your original session is probably at ctrl + alt + f7 (if it was a GUI session) or ctrl + alt + f1 (if it was a terminal session) - but depending on your (distro's) settings, it could be a different f key.
pkill [name of application]
kill -9
Most modern distros have the GUI session at TTY1.
Ctrl+Alt+F2
Then login and run top or htop if installed. Preferably just write 'killall' and press Tab to see the running processes and kill the one you thinks is at fault.
killall --take-no-hostages --remember-no-russian
power button
even higher priority is to pull the plug
Xkill isn't all bad either

hint: its called sysrq
You would rather try kill -15 first, using syscall SIGTERM instead of SIGKILL
#list processes
ps ax
#find specific process that is fucking up, usually firefox for me
ps ax | grep firefox
sudo kill (PID #)
ctrl+alt+f2
kill -9 or killall
I would use htop 9 sigkill
kill $(ps -e | grep $process | cut -c1-5)
DREEEEEEEEEEEAAAMMMMM
WEAAAAAVEEEERRRRRRRRRR
ctrl + escape in kde
