What do I do, when my PC freezes?
Windows has ctrl+alt+del, does Linux Mint has something comparable? The only thing I know about is REISUB, but that borked my PC, so I am hesitant to use that again.
Are there any remaining alternatives to waiting and/or using the power button?
Edit: Thank you all for your insights and possible fixes. Crashes usually happened when I was running (cpu/ram?) heavy workload. Increasing swap space was not even on my radar, so I did that now. :) Hopefully Mint will run more stable now.
Not that ever found. Ye Olde Power Button. And it does on rare occasion bork something.
I highly recommend keeping /home on a separate partition from / so that if worse comes to worst, you can reinstall the system and lose pretty much nothing. Most of the time it’s no problem. But sometimes it is.
