![]() Must read: How to Install and Uninstall Software in UbuntuĢ. But System Monitor on Ubuntu does do the job of managing tasks quite perfectly. It’s a little lacking in features compared to the new Task Manager introduced in Windows 8, which is used on Windows 10. Instead, the Task Manager in Ubuntu is known as System Monitor. That does not mean Ubuntu lacks a Task Manager though. If you search for the Task Manager in the Unity dash or using any other tools you may have installed, you won’t find it either. You can’t use Ctrl+Alt+Del because it brings the log off screen instead. ![]() Unlike Windows, you don’t even have a taskbar to right-click on and select Task Manager. In Ubuntu, these program windows get grayed out but you still can’t close them or anything. It doesn’t happen as often but it does on some random rare occasions. Ubuntu, or even other Linux systems, aren’t immune to this problem. I don’t remember this happening a lot to me, since I switched to Windows 10, perhaps because it takes care of those itself. Often it gets so bad that most of the things, including the taskbar, become unresponsive. There would be no other way to kill it but use the Task Manager. Since I remember, from Windows XP and even Windows 7 and 8, programs becoming unresponsive was a real problem. If you’ve ever used a Windows PC for a long enough time you know what I’m talking about. The Task Manager on a Windows PC could be renamed as the Knight in shining armor and most users might just appreciate it even.
