Windows has freezes and you have CTRL+ALT+Del
Linux has less freezes (none on a good setup) but more ways to get you out of trouble.
CTRL+ALT+BackSpace "kills X" That is it kills the graphical environment and gets you to a command line. Ubuntu have removed this feature (as they think you'll hit 3 keys accidentally(??)) So you have to try other things. CTRL+ALT+F1 or open a terminal and type sudo killall Xorg. (Capital X on Xorg)
The more "Windows way" to do things is open "System Monitor" and terminate the problem process that way.
When the system is totally broken DONT POWER OFF! do this..
REISUB = Restart Even If System Utterly Broken
Press ALT+PrtScrn OR ALT+SysReq (depends on your system) (laptops may need to add the Fn key)
With those buttons held down, use your nose or a friend to type reisub (that is BUSIER backwards).
It shuts down processes, stops hard drives and so on, each letter calling the frozen system to correctly shutdown.
