View the Task Manager in Windows and view processes in Ubuntu,

 To view the Task Manager in Windows, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc directly. To view processes in Ubuntu, open the System Monitor from your Applications menu or use terminal tools like htop. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Windows Task Manager
To monitor system performance and manage background apps in Windows:
  • Shortcut: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to launch it immediately.
  • Alternative: Press Ctrl + Alt + Del and click Task Manager, or right-click the Start button and select it.
  • Features: You can view running apps, CPU/Memory/Disk usage, and startup programs, and end unresponsive tasks by right-clicking them and selecting End Task. [12345]
Ubuntu Processes
Ubuntu handles process management slightly differently, but it offers equivalent tools:
1. Graphical Method (System Monitor)
Ubuntu comes with a built-in GUI equivalent to Task Manager called GNOME System Monitor. [1]
  • Press the Super Key (Windows key), type System Monitor, and hit Enter.
  • It features tabs for Processes (to view/kill tasks), Resources (CPU/RAM/Network graphs), and File Systems (disk usage). [12345]
2. Terminal Methods
For power users and troubleshooting, Ubuntu offers highly efficient text-based task managers:
  • htop: The most popular terminal-based task manager. It displays processes in real-time, color-coded by CPU usage.
    • If it isn't installed, type sudo apt install htop in your terminal.
    • Run it by typing htop. You can kill a process by selecting it and pressing F9. [12345]
  • top: A simpler, pre-installed command that lists all running processes. Just type top in your terminal. [1]
  • ps aux: Displays a static list of all current processes. Use this combined with grep to find a specific app (e.g., ps aux | grep firefox). [1]
For an exact visual clone of the Windows Task Manager in Ubuntu, many users prefer to install a tool called SysMonTask. [12]
Could you tell me what specific task you are trying to do (e.g., kill a frozen app, monitor hardware temperatures, or check network speed)? I can give you the exact command or steps you n
