So when I used to use Windows... back before I knew the world was round, the one good thing about windows and probably one of its only redeeming features was that if it froze up you could sometimes pull out of it being frozen by using the Control ALT Delete command by bringing up the task manager.
I'm confused... sometimes my Linux OS system is freezing up. I don't have the trash on it that I did with Windows. This is sort of demoralizing. I thought I'd gotten out of it? I mean its fixed now. But I'm still getting it freezing up maybe 2 times a day. Why does Linux still freeze up? You would think it wouldn't, as its not got all the programs fighting for the OS workhorse ability like Windows does.
And the main question, is there a Linux equivalent of Control alt delete to not shut down the computer totally but to get it to sort of make everything going on pause enough to pull out of being frozen up? And is the Linux equivalent of a task manager workable enough to do similar? (Or anything else I should install to also help with that?)
Thanks.
